Norrkoping and Djurgarden return to action in the Swedish Allsvenskan when they square off at Nya Parken on Monday. Kim Bergstrand’s men are unbeaten in six consecutive games against the hosts and will look to extend this dominant run.
Norrkoping failed to pick up a morale-boosting result as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Goteborg in a friendly on June 25.
This was in keeping with their struggles in the league, where Andreas Alm’s side have failed to win their last six matches, losing five and claiming one draw since a 2-1 victory over Hacken on April 28.
Norrkoping have picked up just 11 points from their 15 Allsvenskan matches to sit 15th in the table, just three points above rock-bottom Vasteras.
Like the hosts, Djurgarden were in action during the league break as they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Sirius at the Enavallen Stadium on June 28.
Bergstrand’s men now turn their attention to the Allsvenskan, where they fell to a 3-0 home defeat against Hammarby just before the break — a result which saw their six-game winning streak in the league come to an end.
With 25 points from 12 matches, Djurgarden are currently third in the league table, seven points adrift of first-placed Malmo.
