Djurgaardens to increase pressure on Eskilstuna
3111
Allsvenskan side Djurgaardens will travel to Eskilstuna on Monday in league play. Djurgaardens go into the weekend four points behind first place Malmo and need a win to keep pace. Kim Bergstrand’s team needs to continue picking up points in their fight for the league title.
Eskilstuna are bottom of the league with just seven points from a possible 39 taken. Eskilstuna were promoted from the second division last season but life in the top flight hasn’t gone well.
They are winless in their last six Allsvenskan games being outscored 9-1. Eskilstuna have scored just one goal in 540 minutes of football.
Djurgaardens have won five straight Allsvenskan matches outscoring opponents 12-1. Four of their five matches saw them win to nil.
Bergstrand’s team has posted the best away points total in the Allsvenskan this term. Djurgaardens have secured 13 points from 18 possible. Their last two away matches both ended in wins to nil.
Eskilstuna will have their work cut out for them. The good news for Eskilstuna is their one victory this term came at home. However, that win came in their first home match of the season. Since then, they have gone five games without a victory at Tunavallen Stadion.
Eskilstuna have not won any of their last 12 Allsvenskan matches. Meanwhile, their last five home games have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored.
Djurgaardens forward Mohamed Buya Turay leads the team in goals with six. He has accounted for 26% of the team’s scoring. Jonathan Ring has added four goals for the side.
The club’s 23 goals are the third highest total in the Allsvenskan. Djurgaardens average 1.8 goals per game in league play. Eskilstuna have scored the league’s fewest goals with just nine scores totalled.
Eskilstuna and Djurgaardens have played five times in all competitions dating back to 2002. Djurgaardens won four of their five previous matches against Eskilstuna.
Eskilstuna’s only victory during that five-match span came earlier this year in a club friendly. All five meetings between Eskilstuna and Djurgaadens ended in over 1.5 goals scored. Four of the five matches saw more than 2.5 goals scored by the teams.
Monday’s game is destined to be another victory for Djurgaadens. The away side is flying high and will keep pace with rival Malmo at the top of the table.
Djurgaardens may not be able to keep up with Malmo all season long, but they will claim a victory against Eskilstuna with over 2.5 goals scored.
