Djurgarden IF have won their last five matches and now host IF Elfsborg at home. The team sits in a strong second place in the Allsvenskan with 41 points from 21 games, seven points behind leaders Sirius.
The most recent victory was a 2-0 win over Gais last week. Kristian Lien and Bo Åsulv Hegland scored the goals in a match that solidified the team's excellent form. Lien is the team's top scorer this season with 15 goals.
Elfsborg arrive at 3Arena after an inconsistent period with three wins, one loss, and one draw in their last five. In the most recent head-to-head meeting in April, Elfsborg won 2-1, adding an extra layer of motivation for Djurgarden. The team's latest starting eleven against Gais, featuring J. Rinne in goal and an offensive trio of Lien, Hegland, and Okkels, has shown great potency.
With such momentum behind them, the goal is clear to extend the winning run. The match is played on Saturday, September 20. The full upcoming schedule can be found on our fixtures page.
