That result means Halmstads BK are on a 6 match unbeaten run, with 4 of those game coming in the Allsvenskan.
However, victories have been difficult to come by for Halmstads BK and they have recorded just a single win from their 8 most recent Allsvenskan fixtures. They have drawn 3 of their last 4 league games and each of their last 3 on home soil.
Trends show in Halmstads BK's 4 most recent home Allsvenskan matches, there have been under 2.5 goals scored. They have remained undefeated in each of their last 5 league games at Örjans Vall but have not been particularly exciting to watch for the home fans.
Djurgårdens IF have enjoyed a strong start to this season and come into this game having taken maximum points in a 3-0 home win over Örebro. Djurgårdens IF opened the scoring in the 15th minute and added the additional goals in the second half to record a comfortable victory.
That result means Djurgårdens IF are undefeated in each of their last 4 Allsvenskan matches. They won 2 of those 4 games, with both wins coming at home.
Their recent away record shows they are undefeated in 3 of their 4 most recent away trips, beating Elfsborg and Varberg in addition to a 2-2 draw at local rivals Hammarby.

Team news and Halmstads BK are without defender Phil Ofosu-Ayeh who has a knee injury. Every other player should be fit and available for the hosts.

Djurgårdens IF have a tremendous record against Halmstads BK and look well set to record their 11th straight victory against them in the league.
We expect to see under 2.5 goals in the game, with Djurgårdens IF keeping a clean sheet and winning the match.
