Djurgarden vs Rapid Vienna Prediction

Djurgarden, who endured a poor 2024 Allsvenskan season, have once again started unconvincingly at the start of the 2025 Allsvenskan campaign. They lost on the opening day Malmo before a slender defeat of Sirius at the weekend. In the UEFA Europa Conference League knockouts, they defeated Pafos after a top eight finish in the league phase.

They now take on a Rapid Vienna side that have continued their poor campaign with back-to-back 2-0 defeats since the March international break against Red Bull Salzburg and then Sturm Graz. Rapid have managed to reach this stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League with an unconvincing extra-time defeat of Borac Banja Luka in the Round of 16.

Neither of these sides have been at their best levels that they have shown in recent years and it is likely to be a close contest for the next two legs with a low-scoring encounter in both legs also likely.

Djurgarden vs Rapid Vienna Tip: Under 3.5 goals
