Elfsborg take on the visitors Djurgarden in round 10 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Monday, April 19th at Borås Arena (Borås).
Elfsborg have long struggled to get back to title-winning form. But in 2023, they finished as runners-up in the Allsvenskan and reached the group stage of the Europa League — they even managed to beat Nice in January before suffering a heavy 0-3 loss to eventual finalists Tottenham. However, their 2024 domestic campaign saw them drop to a disappointing seventh place. Under Oscar Hiljemark, they started the new season slowly, earning just one point from their opening two matches, but quickly found rhythm with a string of victories, the only slip coming in a 0-2 away loss to AIK. They showed composure in tight games, such as the narrow win over Öster in May, where a single goal was enough. Most recently, they pulled off an entertaining 4-3 home win against Brommapojkarna, demonstrating both attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities.

Djurgården now shift focus to domestic football. The "Blue Stripes" last won the league in 2019. While they reached the Swedish Cup final in 2024, they were unable to lift the trophy, and they’ve finished fourth in the league in each of the last two seasons. That position earned them a place in the Europa Conference League, where they exceeded expectations — eliminating Pafos and Rapid Vienna before being stopped by tournament favorites Chelsea (1-4 away, 0-1 at home). The European campaign clearly took a toll on their league form, as shown by early defeats to Malmö and Hammarby. Still, they beat Sirius and Öster, and after a strong win over Göteborg, stumbled again with a 1-3 home loss to Mjällby, suggesting inconsistency remains an issue.
Djurgården won both meetings in 2024, scoring twice in each match. Elfsborg appear to be in better form and should make home advantage count. Back the hosts to take all three points.
Prediction for the match: Elfsborg to win.
