Djurgården vs Chelsea Prediction & Tips
Djurgården is one of Sweden’s most successful clubs and has accumulated numerous league titles (twelve). However, since 2019 they have failed to excel even in the cup, and in the Allsvenskan both last season and the season before they finished only fourth.
However, even that result allowed them to reach the Conference League. They started in July and made it through three qualifying rounds and then gained thirteen points in the main round. Thus, they managed to start the playoffs only in the round of 16. After eliminating ‘Paphos’ (0-1 in Cyprus, 3-0 at home), they then lost minimally at home by an own goal to ‘Rapid’. But in Vienna they got their revenge 2-1, adding a couple more goals in extra time.
Chelsea won the Champions League not so long ago. And they clearly don’t want to miss next season there. So the priority for Maresca is undoubtedly the Premier League, especially as he remembers how his more prestigious predecessor, Pochettino, was sacked after finishing sixth in the 2023/2024 season. On the other hand, the task will be a little easier: finishing fifth will be enough this time.
