Only a win will satisfy the Djurgården supporters in this Tele2 Arena clash with Varberg BoIS, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Allsvenskan table.
- Djurgården have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Varberg BoIS haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Varberg BoIS have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-4-5 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
Djurgården are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Varberg is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
