Djurgarden vs Gent – On the third day of the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL), Djurgrdens shocked everyone by defeating Gent 1-0 on their home field to move three points clear atop Group F. Following a dismal third-place result in Group 2 during the 1996 Intertoto Cup, the club now has a wonderful potential to finish first in a group at the second attempt.

Djurgrdens has benefited from playing in front of 30,000 spectators at the Tele2 Arena thus far in the UECL; their recent 3-2 victory against Molde extended their spotless home record in this league (W4). It’s impressive that out of those four victories, the Blue Stripes came back from deficits in two, demonstrating their resilience.

Djurgarden vs Gent – Betting Analysis

Gent, who are now tied for third place in Group F on goals scored, desperately needs a quick-hitting revenge victory in order to replicate their storied run to the UEFA Cup’s final eight from thirty years ago. Gent’s 14-year hiatus from Sweden comes with an unfortunate backdrop, as both of their previous visits there ended in 4-0 losses.

While a 4-0 win over Eupen at the weekend may have boosted spirits, memories of more recent losses overseas also raise the possibility of serious difficulty if they fall behind, with Gent failing to score in each of their last four games away from home. Some of them help explain a peculiar pattern in which Gent’s last six European trips have all ended in 1-0 draws (W3, L3).

Marcus Danielson, a defender for Djurgrdens, scored the winning goal against Gent last week—his first goal since August 2019—and it came just before halftime. Hugo Cuypers, who scored the opening goal in Gent’s lone UECL group victory to date, will be his main target.
