Örebro HK – Djurgårdens IF

We are going to the SHL and the match between Örebro HK – Djurgårdens IF . The match is played in Behrn Arena. In what is a must win match for the home team in terms of a playoff spot. But perhaps just as important in terms of avoiding relegation.

Djurgården is the best placed of these two teams with their 9th place. While the home team is down to 12th place. They have a full 8 points up to the playoffs, while only 2 points separate them from the danger of relegation.

We believe in a fast-paced match with many goals, as is the usual between these teams.

Örebro HK – improvement in form.

We have seen a home team that is finding its form at the end of the season. They have picked up some nice scalps recently. Victories over strong teams like Røgle, Frølunda and Malmø in the last four games indicate that the team has found some form. All of these teams are currently in the top 7. The only loss among the last 4 is against the in-form team Leksand. Leksand is at the very bottom, and has signed up to fight to save their place due to their fantastic form. They are now only 5 points behind Örebro HK.

In that sense, this match is important. Because on paper this is one of the "easiest" matches they have left. We believe in an offensive home team, and considered a home win for a long time. At 2.14 in odds, it could certainly be an option.

Örebro HK has already won two of the matches against the same opponent already this year. At the same time, we see another trend that we will try to exploit. A game that seems safer. Because the home team has been involved in many goal-rich matches this season. Bad back-field play is a big reason for that. Only two teams have conceded more. Where one of the other teams is today's opponent.

Djurgårdens IF – achieves the goal.

After being promoted this season, Djurgårdens IF had a clear goal. That was to make the playoffs. Although the team has done less well than they hoped, it still looks like they are on the verge of securing a place in the playoffs.

They have performed better throughout the season. But are struggling to find the good periods that last. They simply vary too much. After they were in a good period with four straight wins, they now have only one win in the last four. It has been like this a lot throughout the season.

But now it's all about securing this playoff spot, and the team won't give up in this match. The home team has proven to be a difficult opponent, and away is always tough.

As their opponent, we see that they are often involved in high-scoring matches. This is primarily because they concede a lot of goals. Like the home team, Djurgårdens IF is also among the three teams that concede the most.

We believe the time is ripe for a goal-oriented showdown this time too.

Conclusion – the goals are rolling in.

Both teams struggle to hold back the ball. That's exactly what we've seen in the three games this season. The games have ended with the following scores: 3-4, 5-3 and 4-3.

No doubt that these teams want to attack. But at the same time they struggle to defend. If we take into account the last two friendly matches between these teams as well. Then these ended with 2-3 and 3-4.

We would of course like to bet on a lot of goals. But we already get good odds on a game we feel confident in, so we try the following:
