Action continues in round 16 of Swedish Allsvenskan as Elfsborg and Djurgarden lock horns at the Boras Arena on Sunday (July 28). The visitors head into the weekend following an emphatic display in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiersg.
Experienced forward Simon Hedlund came up clutch for Elfsborg with an 86th-minute penalty to hand them a 1-0 victory over Sheriff Tiraspol in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League second qualifying round on Thursday.
Oscar Hiljemark’s men now turn their attention to the Allsvenskan, where they are on a three-game winning streak, seeing off Brommapojkarna, Hacken and Mjallby respectively.
With 25 points from 16 matches, Elfsborg are fourth in the league, level on points with fifth-placed Hammarby.
Meanwhile, Djurgarden made up a dream start to their UEFA Europa Conference League qualification campaign, as they stormed to a 3-0 first-leg victory over Luxembourg outfit Progres on Thursday.
Kim Bergstrand’s side have won all three of their last four games across competitions, with a 2-1 loss to Kalmar in the Allsvenskan on July 20 being the exception.
Djurgarden have picked up 21 points from 15 league games to sit second in the table, seven points adrift of leaders Malmo, albeit with a game in hand.

Elfsborg vs Djurgarden Prediction
