The Best Luzern vs Djurgardens Prediction and Picks

Luzern to win

Luzern were in fine form last week when they overcame Djurgardens in their own back yard and we expect them to carry that form into the second leg on Thursday night. The Swiss outfit are only two games into their new season which makes them much fresher than their opponents who are into the second half of their domestic season. With home support behind, odds of 21/20 seem too good to turn down.

Over 2.5 goals

Both Luzern and Djurgardens are among the best teams in their respective leagues which means they will both be feeling confident coming into the game. Djurgardens are the fourth highest scorers in Sweden this season while Luzern were the fourth highest scorers in Switzerland throughout the 2022/23 season. In the first leg, three goals were scored and considering the tie is in the balance we expect another similar scoreline on Thursday night.

Both teams to score

Following on in a similar theme, we believe it would be a surprise if either team failed to score on Thursday night given the quality at their disposal. Luzern have failed to score just once in their last seven fixtures while Djurgardens have been on the scoresheet in 16 of their last 17 fixtures. It’s all set up for a goalfest on Thursday and we expect both sides to get in on the action.

Luzern vs Djurgardens: All to play for in Switzerland

Luzern

Last season, Luzern finished in fourth position in the Swiss Super League which represented a decent season for Mario Flick’s men. They haven’t qualified for the group stages of a European competition since the 2019/20 Europa League but know that a win here would take them to just one more victory of sealing a place in the group stages of this season’s Europa Conference League.

The Lights will be banking on Lars Villiger who has started the season among the goals to carry them past a dangerous Djurgardens team.

Djurgardens

Djurgardens are enjoying a decent season on the whole in Sweden, but recently they have taken things up a notch or two. They finished second in the league last season and are still in with a sniff of winning the title this time around thanks to a run of form which has seen them lose to just one of their last ten fixtures. They will be confident of securing a win away in Switzerland on Thursday night to prolong their European adventure.
