Djurgarden and Legia Warsaw square off at the Tele2 Arena in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday. Roberth Bjorkensjo’s men are on a run of three back-to-back wins in the competition and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Djurgarden turned in a solid team display last Thursday when they picked up a 2-1 victory over Iceland-based club Víkingur Reykjavík in their Conference League clash.
Before that, Bjorkensjo’s side edged out Welsh outfit The New Saints 1-0 at Park Hall on November 28, one week before storming to an emphatic 6-1 victory over Finish side HJK in a friendly matchup.
Having failed to win their opening two Conference League games, Djurgarden have picked up three wins from their subsequent three outings to surge into 11th place in the table with 10 points from a possible 15.
Elsewhere, Legia Warsaw were sent crashing back down to earth last time out as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Lugano in the Conference League. Before that, Gonçalo Feio’s men were on a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions, claiming four wins and one draw in that time.
Legia Warsaw have picked up 12 points from their five Conference League games so far to sit fourth in the standings, three points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
