Djurgarden are the deserved favourites at home — 58% to win and 80% to avoid defeat — but at 1.50 the match-winner price is fully priced, so there is no edge on the headline result.

The actionable value sits in both teams to score No (2.05), second-half over 1.5 (2.25) and home clean sheet (2.40), while first-half over 0.5 at 1.22 is the clearest avoid.

Context

Djurgarden are second in the Allsvenskan table with 41 points from 21 matches and are listed in a qualifying place. Their current league form reads five wins in a row.
The run includes a 2-0 home win over Gais on 14 September, a 1-0 win at Kalmar on 7 September and a 4-0 home win over Mjallby on 31 August, with 13 goals scored and two conceded across the five games. That sample shows Djurgarden scoring heavily at home and defending well, but it does not remove the risk that Elfsborg, who have lost only five league games all season, can slow the game down.
- Djurgarden have won their last five Allsvenskan matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding two.
- The run includes a 2-0 home win over Gais on 14 September 2026 and a 4-0 home win over Mjallby on 31 August 2026.
- Djurgarden sit second on 41 points, seven behind leaders Sirius.
Djurgarden's injury list names midfielder C. Almyras as missing the fixture through a red card and defender A. Stahl as questionable with an injury.
The suspension removes a midfield option for a team that averages 54.9% possession, so Djurgarden may need to adjust their central setup against an Elfsborg side that has drawn seven league games. Stahl's status is less clear because he is only listed as questionable, so the defensive impact depends on whether he is available.
- C. Almyras, a midfielder, is listed as missing the fixture due to a red card.
- A. Stahl, a defender, is listed as questionable with an injury.
- Djurgarden average 54.9% possession in the league this season.
Elfsborg are fifth in the Allsvenskan with 34 points from 21 matches, with a league record of nine wins, seven draws and five losses.
Their away form of three wins, four draws and three losses, with 12 goals scored and 12 conceded, shows a team that often keeps road games close rather than one that wins them regularly. That pattern matters against a Djurgarden side on a five-match winning run, because Elfsborg's draw habit could turn the match into a tighter contest than the home team's form suggests.
- Elfsborg have drawn seven of their 21 league matches, more than any other top-five team.
- Elfsborg's away record is three wins, four draws and three losses in 10 matches.
- Elfsborg are fifth on 34 points, five behind second-placed Djurgarden.
Djurgarden coach Jani Honkavaara said Elfsborg have changed from the five-back structure used in the April meeting to a classic 4-3-3, and he identified their quick transitions as a specific preparation point.
That reported change alters the defensive shape and transition patterns Djurgarden must prepare for, since the opponent no longer sets up the way it did in April. The assessment is reported rather than confirmed, so the exact structure Elfsborg use on Sunday remains uncertain.
