- Competition: Sweden - Allsvenskan
- Date: Saturday, 19th, July 2025
- Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CEST
- Venue: 3Arena (Stockholm)
Elfsborg will be aiming to keep their European hopes alive when they travel to 3Arena to face bottom-half side Djurgarden in Saturday’s Allsvenskan action.
Just as it seemed Djurgarden were beginning to find their trademark rhythm, they were harshly brought back down to earth by a previously winless Varnamo side, falling to a narrow 1-0 away defeat that leaves them lingering uncomfortably close to the relegation zone.
On the flip side, Elfsborg reignited their title chase by staging a gutsy comeback to edge out Goteborg 2-1 on the road thanks to a well-taken brace from Wikstrom, leaving them eight points adrift of pace-setters Mjallby with a game in hand.
Djurgarden vs Elfsborg Betting Tips : X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)
With neither side enjoying a strong run of form lately, this clash feels wide open on paper, but we still believe that Elfsborg possess enough resilience and technical quality to avoid walking away empty-handed from their weekend assignment. Even with the advantage of home turf, Djurgarden have struggled to stamp their authority at 3Arena this season, having managed a meager two victories from their last ten outings in front of their own supporters. In stark contrast, Elfsborg have significantly sharpened their edge on the road by collecting a flawless 10-point haul from their last four Allsvenskan away outings, which gives coach Oscar Hiljemark’s men plenty of confidence as they travel to the Swedish capital aiming to extend their strong run away from home. The inaugural competitive meeting between these sides turned into a one-sided contest where Elfsborg ran riot with four unanswered goals, and there is cautious optimism that Di Gule possess the necessary tools to grind out a positive outcome at the 3Arena, a venue that has offered little cheer this season.

Djurgarden team news
Key midfielder Daniel Stensson will be sidelined until October due to a serious recent injury, while Isak Alemayehu Mulugeta remains doubtful after missing last week’s Allsvenskan match.
There’s no doubt that the last-minute loss to rock-bottom Varnamo stings, but coach Jani Honkavaara may stick with the same side that dominated for most of the game.

Elfsborg team news
Elfsborg’s number one goalkeeper, Isak Pettersson, remains sidelined with a groin injury sustained back in April, with Simon Eriksson expected to step in between the posts.
For the second time this season, Simon Hedlund will be sidelined due to an accumulation of yellow cards after picking up his sixth last week, opening the door for Julíus Magnusson to step in.
