Malmö FF 0-3 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.

Malmö FF put on a commanding performance at home, running out 4-1 winners against Örgryte in the Swedish Allsvenskan. Three second-half goals sealed a victory that the stats made look entirely justified.

AIK bossed possession and created the cleaner chances at Malmö, but the Allsvenskan derby finished goalless as both defences held firm in a match that had plenty of needle.

Malmö FF host Häcken at Eleda Stadion on Sunday 18 October in a Swedish Allsvenskan clash that pits a home side building momentum against visitors who simply refuse to be beaten cleanly. Something has to give.

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.

Kalmar arrive at Malmö FF having won none of their last five Allsvenskan matches and conceding nine goals in the process. The thing is, Malmö have kept a clean sheet in five of their last ten. Work that out.

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.
