Goteborg take on the visitors Djurgarden at “Gamla Ullevi” in the matchday 10 of the Swedish Allsvenskan. The game will be played in Gothenburg on Thursday, May 24th.
Goteborg have been suffering uneasy times in recent years. One of the most titled clubs of Sweden has been unable to find its football. Last season the team occupied only the 10th place in the Allsvenskan table while in this season it is currently sitting on the ninth position in the standings after nine rounds behind. So far the side is lacking stability and thus cannot achieve appropriate results. In last four encounters hosted at Goteborg’s home field only one of the parties scored in half of those tackles. As long as the upcoming opponent is very tough, I believe that the hosts will choose a careful football.

Meanwhile, Djurgarden are a very accurate team which rarely satisfies spectators with high-scoring fights. The side either succeeds due to the higher class or loses with minimal margin. At this moment the visitors settle on the seventh place in the elite division table, being only one point ahead of Goteborg. After two back-to-back defeats deserved at away turfs with the same 1:0 scoreline, “Jarnkaminerna” earned two consecutive victories over Dalkurd 1:0 and Orebro 2:0. As it can be seen, in the latest battles with Djurgarden’s participation only either of the rivals scored.
Although Goteborg and Djurgarden swopped by the goals in four out of last five head-to-heads, I believe that the situation will be different in the upcoming clash. If Djurgarden manage to score first, they focus on defense, playing on the break while in case of conceding first, they rarely score even a goal. Meanwhile, Goteborg look unsustainable in this season and anything can be expected from them. As both rivals need points badly, I doubt they will attack from the very start of the game. I expect the visitors to concentrate on defense while the hosts are unlikely to break it because of their inconsistency.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – no.
