Djurgårdens IF Team News

Djurgårdens IF lost their home leg against Rapid Wien last week. They’ll want to make a fast start on Thursday as they bid to overturn this deficit and progress to the semi-finals at the expense of the hosts.

The scale of their challenge was underscored last weekend when they lost 2-0 away to Hammarby in the Allsvenskan, where they sit 12th after three rounds. They took 1 win and 2 defeats in this run.

Ahead of Thursday, only Malkolm Nilsson is sidelined from the match, handing the manager a boost in team selection and tactical flexibility. However, Djurgårdens IF will need to bolster their balance and aggression if they’re to stand a chance against Rapid Wien.

Rapid Wien vs Djurgårdens IF Prediction 

• Pick: Rapid Wien To Win
• Odds: 1.875 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Rapid Wien 2-0 Djurgårdens IF

With a 1-0 aggregate lead and home advantage, Rapid Wien to come out on top in this match and seal progression to the semi-finals.

The hosts have some momentum, coming off a convincing 2-0 win against Austria Wien in the Austrian Bundesliga. In contrast, Djurgårdens IF will be looking to return to winning ways after being beaten 2-0 by Hammarby. This loss highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities and inconsistent form.

The guests will be under pressure from the first whistle as they look to overturn the 1-0 deficit. This means they’ll have to take the initiative in the match and attack, leaving themselves exposed on the counter-attack.

These dynamics mean that Rapid Wien are the football pick to win this clash.

Rapid Wien vs Djurgårdens IF Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Race To 2 Goals – Rapid Wien
• Odds: 2.23 (22Bet)

The hosts have shown a robust balance between the attack and defensive sides of their game. They demonstrated this in the 1-0 win last week and the 2-0 win this past weekend.

In contrast, Djurgårdens IF have shown defensive frailties that are likely to be a feature of their meeting against Rapid Wien on Thursday.

These dynamics backed Rapid Wien to score two goals without a response from Djurgårdens IF in their home clash. This will bolster their chance of making it into the semi-finals of the European Conference League.
