Djurgarden vs Varnamo Match Analysis & Prediction
14/07/2024 3:00 pm
Djurgardens IF will play host to IFK Varnamo at the Tele2 Arena in the Swedish Allsvenskan on Sunday, and the result could affect both the title race and relegation battle.
The hosts are second in the table with 28 points and are just seven behind leaders Malmo with a game in hand, while the visitors are ninth with 17 points and are just four from the league’s 14th-placed relegation playoff spot.
At present, Djurgarden occupy one of two Europa Conference League playoff spots and are five points clear with a game in hand on fourth-placed Hacken, who are the closest challengers to the European places.
This season, Kim Bergstrand and Thomas Lagerlof’s side have scored 28 goals and conceded 12, and this makes them the division’s second-best offensive and defensive team.
Although Djurgarden did lose once in their last two, they come into the contest in outstanding league form having won seven of their last eight league matches while also keeping five clean sheets in that period.
Djurgarden’s home form specifically is also good, as despite losing their last league match at Tele2 Arena 3-0 to Hammarby, they did win four of the previous five.
On the other hand, Varnamo come into Sunday’s contest in mixed form having won three times, lost twice and drawn once in their last six league matches.
However, Varnamo’s away form has been particularly strong considering that they have won their last three league matches on the road, and have won four of their six away games in the top flight this season.
Varnamo are six points clear of 15th-placed Norrkoping and four clear of 14th-placed Kalmar, who occupy an automatic relegation spot and relegation playoff place respectively.

Djurgarden will certainly be without the services of midfielder Piotr Johansson, who is out for the remainder of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Fellow midfielder Hampus Finndell has not played since May 19 and is not expected to return until late July.

Varnamo Team News
Varnamo come into this game without any major injury concerns and given they have won their last three away matches in the league, it would be surprising if many changes are made to the starting lineup.
The club top-scorer Johnbosco Kalu is almost certain to start in the forward line, while captain Freddy Winsth is sure to start.
