Djurgarden will be looking to continue their surge to the top of the Swedish Allsvenskan table when they play host to Hammarby on Sunday. Kim Hellberg’s men have failed to win their last three visits to Tele2 Arena and will set out to end this dry spell this weekend.
Djurgarden continued with their impressive run of results as they picked up a 3-1 victory over Mjallby at the Strandvallen last Saturday.
Kim Bergstrand’s side have now won five back-to-back matches, stretching back to their penalty-shootout defeat against Malmo in the Swedish Cup final on May 1.
With 25 points from 11 matches, Djurgarden are currently second in the Allsvenskan table, six points behind league leaders Malmo.
Meanwhile, Hammarby turned in a superb team performance last time out when they eased to a 3-0 victory over Sirius at Tele2 Arena.
Hellberg’s men have now won three of their last four matches, with a 3-0 loss at the hands of Mjallby on May 15 being the exception.
With 18 points from 11 matches, Hammarby are currently fifth in the league table but could move into third place with all three points this weekend.
