Varnamo take on the visitors Djurgarden in the round 14 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Saturday, June 8th at Finnvedsvallen (Varnamo).
Varnamo are only in their 2nd season in the Allsvenskan, both in the history of the club and consecutively. Throughout their over a century-long history (the club was founded in 1912), they largely operated at a semi-amateur level. In the 2019-2020 season, they even had to play in Division 1 South, the third tier of Swedish football. However, they managed to swiftly climb up to the Superettan in just one season, in 2021, and finally made their debut at the highest level in the country. The newcomers have held their own, finishing in 10th place in the previous season. Currently, IFK Varnamo is striving to solidify their position without aiming for anything greater. It is worth noting that they have not had a single draw yet. Yes, they have lost 8 out of 13 matches, but they have also accumulated 5 victories, including a 2-0 win against Degerfors in the previous round on July 1st.

Djurgarden are rightfully considered one of the most successful clubs in the country. The standout period was the beginning of the century when they won the championship title and the Swedish Cup three times each from 2002 to 2005. Since then, they have only won the championship once, in 2017. The following year marked their most recent cup triumph. On the other hand, in recent years, DIF has been consistently improving. In the penultimate Allsvenskan season, they secured 3rd place. In 2022, only Hacken finished higher, with a significant 7-point lead. Currently, Malmö is clearly dominating the championship, and the rest can only compete for the 2nd position. It seemed like Djurgarden had lost their chances to retain the runner-up position, but under the guidance of Bergstrand and Lagerlöf (Thomas once again prefers to work with an equal partner), they managed to improve during this season. They have gone through 6 rounds without a loss so far, including a 2-0 victory against Varberg in July. This surge allowed them to climb to at least the 4th position, but their ambitions require even greater success.
The clubs played their first match last year. Djurgarden crushed the debutant with a 5-0 victory at home. However, Varnamo managed to hold them to a goalless draw on their own turf. Currently, the visitors appear stronger. However, there are doubts about them, so it is better to focus on the option of a zero handicap in favor of the blue stripes for the away victory.
Prediction for the match: Djurgarden to win with 0.0 handicap.
