Goals per Game Comparison
Recent attacking records for Mjallby and Djurgarden are shown below.
Goals Conceded Last 6 Matches
Recent defensive records for Mjallby and Djurgarden are shown below.
Djurgården arrive having scored freely while conceding relatively little; Mjällby have spent much of their recent run giving opponents too many openings.
The contrast became brutally clear only days ago, when Djurgården won the reverse fixture 4-0. Mjällby failed to register a shot on target, while Kristian Strømland Lien scored twice before Patric Åslund and Oskar Fallenius completed the scoring. Now Mjällby must find a way to change that equation almost immediately.
Djurgården Are Creating More and Giving Away Less
Across their last 10 league matches, Djurgården have won six and averaged 2.3 goals per game. That return has come from 14 attempts and 6.8 shots on target per match, suggesting their recent scoring record is backed by a steady supply of genuine attacking threat rather than an isolated burst of finishing.
Mjällby's numbers point in the opposite direction. Their last 10 league games have produced one win, five defeats and four draws, with 1.2 goals scored and 1.9 conceded per match.
The defensive comparison is particularly uncomfortable for the hosts. Opponents have averaged 14.7 attempts and 5.4 shots on target against Mjällby, whereas Djurgården have allowed only 9.0 attempts and 3.3 on target. Djurgården are therefore combining the stronger attack with the tighter defensive platform.
Mjällby have also conceded in each of their previous six matches, allowing 14 goals during that sequence. Djurgården, by contrast, have conceded four across their last six while scoring 15.
Possession Has Not Protected Mjällby
Mjällby's average possession across the last 10 league games is 51.3%, so their problems cannot simply be reduced to spending every match without the ball. They also average 12.8 attempts, only 1.2 fewer than Djurgården.
The gap appears further down the chain.
Djurgården turn their 14.0 attempts into 6.8 shots on target and 2.3 goals per game. Mjällby generate 12.8 attempts but only 4.3 on target and 1.2 goals. Similar overall shooting volume is producing very different levels of danger and reward.
That distinction was exaggerated in Monday's meeting. Mjällby managed three attempts and none on target, while Djurgården scored four times from 12 shots. Whatever changes at Strandvallen, the hosts need considerably more attacking substance rather than possession for possession's sake.
Lien Gives the Visitors a Clear Cutting Edge
Kristian Strømland Lien has nine goals and arrives after scoring twice against Mjällby in the 4-0 win. His output alone helps explain why Djurgården's recent attacking figures carry greater weight.
There is support around him too. Bo Aasulv Hegland has supplied six assists across the previous 10 games, while Patric Åslund has three goals and was also on target in the latest meeting.
Mjällby's leading scorer, Jacob Bergstroem, has three goals, with Olle Lindberg and Aki Samuelsen on two apiece. Max Nielsen and Samuelsen each have three assists. The difference is not merely that Djurgården have more goals as a team; their leading individual contributions are substantially stronger as well.
Mjällby Need More Than a Reaction
The wider league picture reinforces the recent trends. Djurgården sit third with 32 points from 18 matches, having scored 41 and conceded 19. Mjällby are 12th with 20 points from 17, with 24 scored and 27 allowed.
Mjällby do at least return home, but Djurgården have gone unbeaten in their last three league visits to them. More importantly, the visitors currently appear stronger at both ends: they create more accurate shooting opportunities, concede fewer chances and possess the most productive attacking players in this fixture.
For Mjällby, the challenge is not simply erasing the memory of a 4-0 defeat. It is finding answers to the same statistical problems that helped create it.

🎯 Pick 1: Djurgardens to win and both teams to score @ 21/10
Djurgården enter this fixture supported by strong underlying scoring metrics, having won six of their last 10 league outings while averaging 2.3 goals per game. Their attacking threat was demonstrated in Monday’s 4-0 victory over Mjällby, where they generated 12 attempts and restricted their hosts to zero shots on target. Kristian Strømland Lien leads their forward line with nine goals, supported by Bo Aasulv Hegland’s six assists across his last 10 appearances.
Mjällby’s defensive profile presents vulnerabilities for the visitors to exploit, as the hosts have conceded 14 goals across a six-match sequence without keeping a clean sheet. Opponents average 14.7 attempts and 5.4 shots on target against Mjällby, compared to Djurgården allowing only 3.3 shots on target per game. However, Mjällby return home averaging 51.3% possession and 12.8 attempts per match over their last 10 games. Jacob Bergstroem’s three goals alongside three assists apiece from Max Nielsen and Aki Samuelsen show Mjällby maintain reliable avenues to test a Djurgården defence that has conceded 19 goals in 18 league matches overall.
Djurgården kept a clean sheet in the reverse fixture and have allowed just four goals across their previous six matches, which creates a genuine counter-argument against Mjällby scoring. Nevertheless, Mjällby’s home average of 12.8 attempts suggests they can find a goal without preventing a Djurgården win, given Mjällby concede an average of 1.9 goals per match.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Djurgården won 6 of last 10 league matches, averaging 2.3 goals and 6.8 shots on target per game.
- Mjällby conceded 14 goals in last 6 matches, allowing 14.7 attempts and 5.4 shots on target per game.
- Mjällby average 12.8 attempts and 51.3% possession over last 10 league games; Djurgården conceded 19 goals in 18 matches.
Risk Factor: Djurgården's clean sheet in the last 4-0 win risks negating the Both Teams to Score condition.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Averaging 6.8 shots on target from 14 attempts per match, producing 2.3 goals per game across their last 10 league fixtures.
Surrendering 14.7 attempts and 5.4 shots on target per match, conceding 14 goals across their previous 6 games.
⚔️ Pick 2: Mjallby vs Djurgardens 1-3 @ 11/1
A 1-3 scoreline aligns directly with Djurgården’s recent attacking productivity, as the visitors have averaged 2.3 goals per game across their past 10 league matches and scored 15 times over their last six fixtures. Their main goalscoring threat is Kristian Strømland Lien, who brought his season total to nine goals with a double in Monday’s 4-0 head-to-head win, while Patric Åslund contributed his third goal of the campaign in that same match. Facing a Mjällby defence that surrenders 5.4 shots on target per match and has conceded 14 goals across six games, three goals for the visitors sits comfortably within their established scoring trajectory.
On the home side of the scoreline, Mjällby averaging 1.2 goals and 4.3 shots on target per match over their last 10 outings provides realistic support for a single goal at Strandvallen. Jacob Bergstroem’s team-leading three goals, paired with creative contributions from Aki Samuelsen and Max Nielsen, offer credible backing for a home response against a Djurgården backline that has conceded 19 goals in 18 league fixtures this season.
The primary vulnerability to this exact outcome comes from Djurgården’s recent defensive solidity, having conceded just four goals in six matches while shutting out Mjällby entirely in their recent 4-0 meeting. Exact-score selections remain inherently fragile, where a single defensive stand by Djurgården or one extra goal from either side renders the wager unsuccessful.
Risk Factor: Djurgården's recent defensive solidity could prevent Mjällby from scoring, risking exact score accuracy.
