Djurgarden IF face IF Elfsborg on Saturday riding a perfect five-match winning streak. The team sits second in Allsvenskan with 41 points from 21 games, chasing league leaders Sirius.
Last time out they beat Gais 2-0 at home, with Kristian Stromland Lien and Bo Åsulv Hegland on the scoresheet. That victory was the fifth in a row, a run that includes a big 7-1 away win at Haninge. The team's attacking power is clear with 46 goals scored this season, and top scorer K. Lien has netted 15 of them.
Opponents Elfsborg, who sit in fourth place, are coming off a 1-0 win over Kalmar FF but have a more inconsistent form line. The meeting at 3Arena is a direct top-of-the-table clash. Djurgarden have a chance to close the seven-point gap to Sirius.
The team's most recent starting XI against Gais featured Rinne in goal and a defensive midfield duo of Stensson and Siltanen. The last meeting with Elfsborg in April ended in a 2-1 away defeat. The match kicks off at 14:00 on Saturday, September 20.
