Djurgarden vs Legia Warszawa Prediction 19.12.2024 | Conference League

• Competition: UEFA Conference League
• Date: Thursday, 19th, December 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21.00 CET
• Venue: Tele2 Arena (Stockholm)

Djurgarden will try to break into the top eight of the league phase when they host Legia Warszaw at the Tele2 Arena on the final matchday of the Conference League on Thursday.

Although their European campaign is already extended into spring, Djurgarden will set their sights on finishing among the top eight to secure an automatic berth in the round of 16 in UEFA’s third-tier tournament. Their European campaign got off to a rocky start, but Jarnkaminerna managed to bounce back impressively by claiming three wins on the trot, bringing them level on points with eighth-placed Jagiellonia and motivating them to give their absolute best to avoid the extra hurdle of a playoff with success on the final day of the league phase.

On the opposite side, Legia Warszaw have been one of the most pleasant surprises in the league phase of UEFA's youngest club competition, boasting a near-perfect start of four wins from their opening five games. Currently sitting in a glowing fourth place with 12 points in the coffers, Goncalo Feio's chosen ones simply need to avoid setback on the final matchday of the league phase to book their spot in next year's knockout stage starting from the round of 16.

Djurgarden vs Legia Warszaw Betting Tips: BTTS

With their domestic commitments wrapped up in early November, Djurgarden will channel all their energy into tackling their remaining European challenge in the best possible manner, but the Warsaw-based club is no easy opponent, as they have proven with their performances so far. While Jarnkaminerna have proven to be a real attacking force, their lack of defensive cohesion has resulted in four of their first five games turning into thrilling affairs filled with goals at both ends of the pitch. If there's any team capable of threatening Djurgarden's unreliable rearguard, it's undoubtedly Legia, who have been extremely dangerous in front of goal during their European travels, sweeping aside TSC Backa Topola and Omonia with identical 3-0 scorelines. The Polish club have strung together an impressive scoring streak on the road, finding the back of the net at least twice in each of their last eight away games, and they’ll aim to maintain that lethal touch in front of goal, but with Djurgarden more than capable of responding in attack, we expect an entertaining clash at Tele2 Arena with goals flying in at both ends.
