Degerfors 0-1 Djurgården result, stats and report

Elfsborg came to Stockholm and did what nobody had managed in five attempts, beating Djurgården 2-1 to end a remarkable clean sheet streak and claim a deserved away victory.

Djurgården made it four wins from their last five Allsvenskan matches with a composed 2-0 home victory over GAIS, goals from Kristian Strømland Lien and B. Hegland doing the damage either side of half-time. GAIS finished the match with two red cards and no answer to a Djurgården defence that simply refused to be broken.

Sirius earned a deserved 2-0 win over Degerfors in the Swedish Allsvenskan, recovering from a second-minute own goal scare to dominate the contest through desire, duels, and a clinical first-half finish from Melker Heier.

Elfsborg controlled this Swedish Allsvenskan fixture from the first whistle, with Leo Östman opening the scoring in the 13th minute and substitute Ari Sigurpálsson sealing it late on. Degerfors never looked like competing.

Djurgården arrive at Brommapojkarna on Friday having kept five consecutive clean sheets and conceded nothing in their last five Allsvenskan matches. Brommapojkarna have shipped nine goals in their last five. You do the maths.

Hammarby host Djurgården in a Stockholm derby on Sunday with both sides in serious form, but it is the visitors' defensive record that makes this one genuinely difficult to call.

Mjällby have conceded 14 goals in their last five Allsvenskan matches and cannot buy a clean sheet. Degerfors arrive with three wins from five but a longer record that tells a different story.
