On Thursday, December 12, the fifth round of the UEFA Conference League will feature a match between Icelandic club Vikingur and Swedish Djurgarden. Who has a better chance of winning this match? The answer is in our forecast.
Match announcement
Vikingur Reykjavik
IcelandCurrent form
Unlike the national championship, Vikingur is doing well in the Conference League. After five matches, the team is in 14th place in the standings, with seven points. In this European Cup, the club lost only to Omonia in the first round with a score of 0:4. Then there were victories over Cercle Brugge (3:1) and Borac Banja Luka (2:0). And in the last round, they played a goalless draw with Noah.
The team plays well on its home field - only one defeat in seven previous matches, but the problem is that the match will be held on a neutral field, where there will no longer be such a colossal advantage.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pineida will not appear on the field due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vikingur kept a clean sheet in their last two matches
- In four of the last six matches, the nominal hosts were able to score
Probable line-up: Jonsson - Attason, Ekroth, Vatnamar, Gunnarsson - Agnarsson, Andrason, Thordarsson - Thrandarsson, Hansen, Djuric.
Djurgaarden
SwedenCurrent form
Djurgården had a poor start to the Conference League, drawing 2-2 with LASK in the first round and then losing 1-2 to Vitoria Guimaraes. After that, the Scandinavians showed impressive matches against Panathinaikos and The New Saints, winning both games 2-1 and 1-0, respectively. The team currently occupies an intermediate 12th place in the Conference League group stage standings, which allows them to get into the playoff zone and fight for the right to play in the spring 1/8 finals. There is no doubt that the nominal guests will try to improve their position after the upcoming match.
