Djurgården 2-3 Sirius 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.

Sirius snatched a 2-1 win at Örgryte with a Sebastian Lagerlund header deep into stoppage time, completing a comeback after the hosts had led through Henrik Castegren's early goal. Örgryte's defensive frailty and lack of cutting edge ultimately cost them again.

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.

Sirius have lost three of their last five in the Allsvenskan and Elfsborg arrive in decent nick. Sunday's lunchtime fixture has the look of a match that matters more than it might appear on the surface.

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.

GAIS host a Sirius side that has won just once in their last five Allsvenskan matches, with Saturday's clash offering the home side a genuine opportunity to capitalise on their opponents' defensive frailty.
