Pafos vs Djurgarden Prediction 6 March 2025
🔊 Will the Cypriots be able to take advantage of their home field? In the first leg of the UEFA Conference League Round of 16, Paphos and Djurgården will face each other. Both clubs are not very well-known in world football and are unlikely to compete for the title, with reaching the quarter-finals already being a significant achievement for them. In our editorial's prediction, we will discuss which team is better prepared for the start of this matchup.
Head-to-Head
Previously, Pafos and Djurgården have not played against each other yet.
Head-to-head statistics Pafos - Djurgarden
Pafos Team Overview
Paphos has made a rather sharp entry into the top clubs of Cyprus. This team was established only in 2014, and now it is leading the country's championship and representing it with dignity in European competitions. The Cypriots looked strong during the group stage of the Conference League and managed to overcome their compatriots from Omonia (1:1, 2:1) in the playoff matches.
Omonia was able to take revenge on their offenders in the championship, but this defeat (1:2) became Paphos's first in 11 games. The team knows how to play disciplined football and doesn't give their opponents any extra chances, resulting in an extremely impressive statistic for goals conceded: before the previous game, Paphos hadn't conceded more than one goal in 14 consecutive matches.
Match Results: Pafos
Djurgardens Team Overview
The Swedish team occasionally pretends to be weak, but it has tremendous potential. Djurgården quickly recovered from an unsuccessful start in the group stage of the Conference League and secured four consecutive victories starting from the third round.
However, in the Swedish Cup, these guys faltered and failed to advance from the group stage. Everything was decided in a dramatic match against Gothenburg (3:4), where Djurgården did not live up to their status as favorites, playing poorly in defense. Therefore, as they approach the playoffs, the club is not in the best mood, which could negatively affect the final result.
Match Results: Djurgardens
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
Djurgården rarely plays low-scoring games, with at least three goals scored in four of their last five official matches involving the Swedes. Pafos will definitely take advantage of the opponent's defensive flaws and try to score as many goals as possible to ensure a comfortable advantage before the return leg. Therefore, we suggest betting on Total goals over 2.5.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
In the statistics of both clubs, we see not very high figures, with an average of only 8 and 8.7 corners per game, respectively. Moreover, Pafos is currently on a streak of five matches where no more than nine corners were recorded. Consequently, in this match, you can bet on Total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
Despite Djurgården performing better in the overall stage of the Conference League than Pafos, they are not the favorites in this matchup. The Cypriots have gained excellent momentum, while the Swedes' results are currently lacking, with only three matches in the Swedish Cup as their full game practice in 2025. We predict that Pafos will win with a score of 2:1.
However, there could be more goals. Djurgården often opens up and leaves free spaces on their half of the field. This is necessary for the Swedes to create chances and score themselves, but they often get caught out and allow opponents to launch quick attacks. In such a game, it's worth expecting the total bet on Total goals over 2.5 to come through.
