In-depth Analysis
After seven rounds, Djurgarden currently sit fourth in the standings with 13 points. Meanwhile, Sirius have been extremely impressive, sitting comfortably at the top of the table with 19 points, five clear of the chasing pack.
Djurgarden previously went through a disappointing slump in April. Following a home defeat to Malmo, they extended their winless streak to three matches after losing to Elfsborg and drawing with Hammarby. However, the team quickly regained momentum with back-to-back victories over Goteborg and Solna, collecting a full six points.
Their home form is also giving Djurgarden extra confidence. In their last five matches at home, they have won three and lost only once. More importantly, Djurgarden have traditionally dominated Sirius on home soil, winning seven of their last nine home meetings while losing only twice.
However, Sirius are no longer the easy opponent they once were. The visitors are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run, including six wins and one draw. Looking at the bigger picture, Sirius have won 12 and drawn three of their last 15 official matches — a remarkably consistent run of form.
Not only are Sirius strong at home, but they have also shown great resilience away from home. They are unbeaten in their last seven away matches, a record that gives them plenty of confidence ahead of this trip to Djurgarden.
