- Venue: 3Arena
All eyes will be at the 3Arena in Stockholm Globe City on Sunday, when Djurgaarden and Halmstads face off at launch time for Match Day 18 of the 2025 Swedish top-flight campaign. The match takes place at Djurgaarden's home ground, and the Blue Stripes are the favourites after winning their last two matches. However, Halmstads BK will be feeling confident about their chances of at least earning a point, given their impressive recent record in head-to-head meetings with Djurgaarden.

Sunday’s game will mark the seventh meeting between these two teams since 2017. Their most recent encounter took place in June at the Örjans Vall, where Halmstads emerged victorious with a 1:0 win. In the previous five meetings, the two sides picked up two wins each, while one game ended in a draw. There was little entertainment over the six fixtures, with none producing more than two goals.
Djurgaarden team overview
Djurgården have not managed to replicate their form from the 2019 Allsvenskan title-winning campaign in recent years. The Blue Stripes finished fourth last season, and their current form is not improving.
They currently occupy seventh place, 18 points behind the leaders, and have picked up just three home wins this season.
However, head coach Jani Honkavaara will be encouraged by the fact that two of his side's three home wins came last month. The Blue Stripes also won their last two league games 7-1 on aggregate.
Elsewhere, the hosts will be without goalkeeper Malcom Nilsson Safqvist and right winger Nino Zugelj, who are both out with elbow and foot injuries.

Halmstads BK team overview
Halmstads BK seem to be involved in the relegation battle every season. The visitors finished the last two seasons in 12th place, just two spots above the relegation zone, and they currently occupy the same position.
Boss Lindholm prepares his side for Sunday’s trip to the 3Arena following three consecutive games without a win.
They suffered two defeats and also failed to score on two occasions. Having also failed to find the back of the net in each of their last two away games against Djurgårdens IF, Sunday’s game is expected to be another tough one. On a positive note, the squad has no injured or suspended players.

Prediction
Djurgården are the clear favourites to win. This isn’t just based on their current form compared to that of the visitors; history also favours Honkavaara’s team. The hosts won all of the last eight Allsvenskan meetings between these two teams at this stadium and also kept six clean sheets. But with only one of those games producing more than three goals, we expect Sunday’s game to be a close one.
Three reasons we expect under 3.5 goals in this game
- All the last seven league meetings between Djurgaarden and Halmstads ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Halmstads scored only once during their last five away games in the Swedish top flight.
- Only two of the last eight league games of Djurgaarden produced more than two goals.
