BK Häcken are undefeated in their 4 most recent home league matches and have won 3 of those 4 games.

Looking ahead to the team news and BK Häcken have the best striker in the league at their disposal in Alexander Jeremejeff. He has 14 goals to his name this season, double that of any other player in the league.
Djurgårdens IF may choose to freshen things up a little from Thursday, with Emmanuel Banda and Gustav Wikheim contenders to come into the starting XI.
