Djurgården form and stats

The away team, who have the fewest conceded goals (12) in Allsvenskan, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Allsvenskan. Things are running smoothly for Djurgården who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 14 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against AIK.

Djurgården play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Malmö FF. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Akropolis.
