5th position in the Allsvenskan table for Djurgården so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Sirius visits Tele2 Arena.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
