After a crushing 4-1 home loss to IF Elfsborg, the Halmstads BK squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad.  They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against IF Elfsborg's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.  

Supremo Johan Lindholm will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.  

They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Örjans Vall, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.  

Yannick Agnero will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Halmstads BK.

Djurgardens IF will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against IF Brommapojkarna.  They came away from that fixture with a 51% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to IF Brommapojkarna, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.  

Manager Jani Honkavaara will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

It's been mixed fortunes for Djurgarden away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
