Djurgarden vs SK Rapid Prediction & Tips
Djurgården is not considered the country’s undisputed strongest, but they have managed to win twelve league titles and five cups. However, the latest successes were in 2019. And in the last two Allsvenskan seasons they finished a modest fourth. They finally started the new season in March, with one defeat.
However, in the Conference League the Swedes continue their struggle with tenacity. It started in the summer, with matches against ‘Progress Niedercorn’ from Luxembourg. Eliminating two other opponents, the Scandinavians in the main round scored thirteen points, including four consecutive victories. This allowed them to skip the first playoff round in February. And in the spring, against ‘Paphos’, after a 0-1 away win, they organised a home win.
Rapid Vienna in terms of historical achievements, especially in the last century, surpasses many, including the Swedes. But in recent years, ‘Red Bull Salzburg’ has undisputedly dominated Austrian football. Now ‘Sturm’ has taken the lead, and the representative of the capital has not won a title since 2008. Last season they finished fourth, and now they are unlikely to go much higher.
However, in the Conference League (previously in the Europa League in the summer they passed ‘Wisła Cracovia’ and ‘Trabzonspor’, but lost to ‘Braga’) the club decided everything, starting with three victories. Even so, they then scored four more points in three rounds, which sent ‘Rapid’ straight to the round of 16. There, only in extra time they beat ‘Borac Banja Luka’. Both matches ended in a draw, but in added time, Schaub scored the decisive goal.
