The visiting Djurgården side should be favourites in this visit to Falkenberg, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their 25 league games this season.
The visiting Djurgården played their last game only four days ago, a Allsvenskan match. That game, against Häcken, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Djurgården.
It should be mentioned that Djurgården play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Djurgården on grass are 15 victories, 1 draw and 6 defeats from 22 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 33-20. You can compare this with overall results below.
Relegation threatens Falkenberg who should definitely be looking for some points here. Djurgården are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
