After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Malmö FF and Djurgården in this fresh Allsvenskan season. Read our match preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Malmö's stadium, Malmö Stadion, has a grass surface. Djurgården have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Djurgården when playing on grass; 14 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from 22 matches. They have scored 31 goals in these games and conceded 18.
Malmö FF form and stats
Only two Allsvenskan home games for Malmö FF so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Malmö.
Malmö FF drew their last game, 2-2 away at AIK (placed 3rd). Before that game, the 4-1 home victory against AIK.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against AIK as Isaac Kiese Thelin's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. A painful moment in the game against AIK was the missed penalty kick from Isaac Kiese Thelin in the 69th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Malmö have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Malmö FF as they are travelling to their away game against Elfsborg in the Allsvenskan. That match is four days after this one.
At Malmö Stadion, Malmö FF has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Djurgården form and stats
Djurgården are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Allsvenskan, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Djurgården are travelling after their nice 5-0 home win in the Allsvenskan against Kalmar (placed 8th). Prior to that match, the Djurgården manager K. Bergstrand faced defeat when travelling to Norrköping and losing 0-3.
As you can tell from the results above, Djurgården was very dominant against Kalmar, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Jonathan Augustinsson, Fredrik Ulvestad (3) and Kevin Walker providing the goals. It's hard not to mention Fredrik Ulvestad's lethal finishing against Kalmar. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
Djurgården are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of four matches.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Djurgården has managed 2 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Malmö FF, one draw and four wins for Djurgården. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
