Djurgården are finally looking like the side that dominated the Allsvenskan top four from 2019 to 2024. Missing out on Europe last season was a wake-up call, and their response after the June break has been impressive, climbing back into the top four with games still in hand. Win those extra fixtures, and second place is well within reach, giving them every reason to treat this as a must-win. Against newly promoted Västerås, the gap in quality, experience, and motivation is hard to ignore.
