Djurgarden vs Legia Warsaw Prediction

Djurgarden know what they have to do if they want that automatic passage through to the round of 16. Secure what would be a fourth consecutive league phase win, which would put them on 13 points. However, Legia Warsaw won’t be letting go of their place inside the top eight easily. Especially when taking into account their defensive resilience.

No backline across the entire competition have conceded less league phase goals so far than Legia, who’ve been breached just twice in five rounds of fixtures. The Polish giants will no doubt prioritise that notorious defensive stability out in Sweden, keeping bodies behind the ball when out of possession and making themselves as difficult as possible to break down.

The hosts need to be careful as the threat of a counter-attack could be constant and conceding first would be a disaster of them. Goals are likely to be in short supply over the course of this one and backing under 2.5 goals appears the smart move to make.
