Djurgardens still a work in progress
Our Djurgardens IF FF (W) vs Eskilstuna United (W) prediction highlights that Djurgardens IF FF (W) are the favorites to win Saturday’s Damallsvenskan 2026 clash at 1.55, but with Eskilstuna United (W) in much better form in the league, the 4.92 about the away side to claim the win looks appealing, as does the 4.1 available for a draw.
Willie Kirk has made a good start to his time in charge of the Stockholm outfit, but he is yet to find the consistency he will demand from his team after taking over in January 2026. Djurgardens have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five, leaving them in 9th place in Damallsvenskan 2026 after a slow start to the campaign.
In contrast, this Djurgardens IF FF (W) vs Eskilstuna United (W) preview underlines that Eskilstuna United (W) will be delighted with how their first season back in the top flight is progressing with 12 points from their opening six games having them flying high in 3rd.
Eskilstuna can be tough to beat
Rickard Johansson’s side have been pragmatic and tough to break down since the former Damallsvenskan boss took over in January 2025. Eskilstuna’s shape can be flexible, but they generally prefer to defend deep and wide, with a lot of attention paid to set-pieces, where they are often strong. They defend well as a unit, but can also be quick to counterattack when they win possession in the right areas.
Djurgardens IF FF (W) are more of a possession-based team that likes to create overloading situations in wide areas with their 4-2-3-1 system, but they have struggled to break through deep defensive lines so far. They will be more than capable of scoring on Saturday against Eskilstuna, but the visitors can also hurt them, which should lead to a close game.
Urara Watanabe leads the line for Djurgardens IF FF (W) with 3 goals in 7 Damallsvenskan 2026 matches, providing the spark that their side needs to change games according to this Djurgardens IF FF (W) vs Eskilstuna United (W) prediction. Anna Sutter has been Eskilstuna’s danger woman with 1 goal in 4 league appearances this season, but she usually makes her mark in the tight games.
Deep visitors can keep it tight
Eskilstuna United (W) have won three and lost two of their last five and come into this game off the back of consecutive wins before their 0-3 loss to an in-form FC Rosengaard side.
The visitors are a young side with something to prove, so they should make a game of this and their recent record on the road of two wins and one defeat from three away games is hard to ignore. For those looking at Djurgardens IF FF (W) vs Eskilstuna United (W) betting tips, cautious approaches may be warranted due to both teams' defensive strengths.
Djurgardens IF FF (W) have managed just one win, one draw and one loss at home this term, and the odds on them are good enough for us to pass on this fixture. But the under 2.5 goals market could also offer value in this Djurgardens IF FF (W) vs Eskilstuna United (W) prediction.
