- Competition: Allsvenskan
- Date: Monday, 3rd August, 2026
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: 3Arena (Stockholm)
Two teams that had an amazing return to Allsvenskan after a June break, Djurgarden and Vasteras, will face off against each other. The teams have identical records: both have collected ten points in four games and are coming into the game highly motivated. However, both teams mostly faced teams from the bottom of the league's table, and this great record might be deceiving.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Allsvenskan tie.

The last time these teams met in an official game was in the 2024 season when Djurgarden won both h2h games, 2:1 and 2:0. Looking further back, in the past ten h2h games, across competitions, Djurgarden won six times, while Vasteras won once.
Regarding the number of goals, four out of the past ten h2h games ended with three or more goals, while three of those ended with both teams scoring.
Djurgarden team overview
Djurgarden were among the top four teams between 2019 and 2024, but then finished 5th last year and missed out on European Qualifiers. This year, their main goal is to return among the top four teams. Despite a poor start, they consolidated after the break in June and moved to 4th place. Yet, they played one or two games fewer than most of the league, and with two positive results, they could climb all the way to second place. Interestingly, they are one of the teams that average a lot more points on the road (2.17) compared to only 1.43 at home. So, it will be interesting to see whether they can string two home wins in a row for the first time this season.
On 27th July, the club added goalkeeper Lukas Jonsson from Osnabruck. However, we believe he will most likely be only a backup option to Jacob Rinne.

Västerås team overview
Vasteras secured promotion to Allsvenskan last season and only looked to survive this year. Last time in 2024, when they played in Allsvenskan, they won only 23 points in 30 rounds, and incredibly, they have the opportunity to win more points after 15 rounds this season. At the moment, they have won 22 points in 14 rounds! We can safely say the season is going better than expected. However, they need to continue winning points because they will have a really challenging schedule in the next few games, as they will face almost exclusively teams from the upper half of the league table.
The team should have no new injuries, but Frederic Nsabiyumva and Jonathan Ring should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Prediction
Djurgarden were amazing defensively in their recent three games, keeping a clean sheet in each of those matches. They are also the third-best defensive team in the league, as they concede 1.15 goals per game. Due to their excellent defensive performance, they went under 3.5 goals in eight out of 13 games - 61%.
Vasteras also kept a clean sheet in the past three games, and we expect another good performance. However, on the other hand, we do not trust them too much on offense. Against the top six teams, they had four games and scored one or zero goals in three of those!
Considering all the above, an under 3.5 goals bet seems like the best possible bet for this Allsvenskan tie.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than four goals
- Both teams kept a clean sheet in the past three games
- Djurgarden went under 3.5 goals in 61% of their games
- Both teams went under 3.5 goals in the past three matches
