Bluebells will play ball, IFK will play the ball
The rivalry between Djurgardens IF and IFK Norrkoping is long-standing and the two clubs will bring plenty of history to the pitch on Monday. This Djurgardens IF vs IFK Norrkoping prediction reflects the Blue and Yellows’ record: they have won three of the last four head-to-head matches in Allsvenskan, including a 3-1 success seven months ago. Norrkoping have not won in their two most recent visits to the stadium, although both teams are in very similar form coming into this Allsvenskan showdown.
Djurgardens IF have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five league matches, a run which began with a hard-fought 0-1 away win at Brommapojkarna and most recently saw them lose 1-0 away to Halmstads BK. For punters considering the Djurgardens IF vs IFK Norrkoping betting tips, these recent results offer important insight.
Jani Honkavaara has been at the helm since January 2025 and already appears to be making his mark on the team, who have been disciplined in their structure and strong in possession during his tenure. Tobias Gulliksen is the chief creator with three assists in 11 league games, but August Priske is the main man with two goals in nine.
Norrkoping boss Martin Falk took the hot-seat in January and has encouraged a much more direct and counter-attacking style of play. Christoffer Nyman has been their not-so-secret weapon with six Allsvenskan goals in ten games, the most by any player on the squad. This Djurgardens IF vs IFK Norrkoping preview would not be complete without mentioning Sebastian Joergensen, who has added to the goal threat with two in the past five games and should be well supported by his team-mates this weekend.
Norrkoping can nick it in a tight affair
The bookies have Djurgardens as slight favourites at 2.10 to win this game, while Norrkoping are a big 3.20. When reviewing the Djurgardens IF vs IFK Norrkoping odds, however, the visitors have been very good away from their own home ground recently, taking seven points from five Allsvenskan away games (W2, D1, L2) and we think they will get something from this game.
Our Djurgardens IF vs IFK Norrkoping prediction suggests Djurgardens IF have been toothless in front of goal this term with only four goals scored in six games. They should be up against a faster and more vertical team on Monday and the hosts may not have the space to play their game.
Both Teams to Score is an appealing bet for this Allsvenskan clash as it pits a team that likes to control the ball and press high against another that enjoys playing on the counter.
