Djurgarden IF head into Saturday's top clash against IF Elfsborg on a strong winning streak. The team has won its last five matches and sits second in the Allsvenskan.
Last time out, they comfortably beat Gais 2-0 at home. Kristian Stromland Lien and Bo Åsulv Hegland scored the goals and assisted each other. That victory was the fifth in a row following earlier big wins against sides like Haninge and Mjällby.
The form is undeniable and striker K. Lien has been key with his goals so far this season. The team has found a good rhythm and has conceded only goals in matches, one of the best records in the league.
Opponents Elfsborg arrive with more mixed recent form. They beat Kalmar FF last weekend but lost to Brommapojkarna the week before. They are fourth in the table and will be a tough test, especially considering they won the most recent meeting this spring 2-1.
For Djurgarden, the goal is to keep the pressure on league leaders Sirius. A win on Saturday would be an important step in the title chase. The manager has the same starting eleven from the Gais match to rely on, with J. Rinne in goal and a stable centre-back pairing of M. Tenho and J. Une-Larsson.
