BK Haken will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Swedish Allsvenskan table when they host IF Elfsborg at the Bravida Arena on Sunday.
Di Gule head into the game unbeaten in each of their last four meetings against the hosts and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
BK Haken were denied a sixth consecutive league victory last Sunday when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Hammarby.
They head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last 11 games across all competitions, claiming seven wins and four draws since April’s 2-0 loss to Göteborg.
This fine run of results sees Haken seated at the top of the Swedish Allsvenskan standings, level on 24 points with second-placed AIK.
IF Elfsborg, meanwhile, picked up a third consecutive home victory as they brushed aside Varbergs BoIS 4-1 last time out.
They are unbeaten in each of their last four games across all competitions, picking up three wins and one draw.
With 18 points from 11 games, Elfsborg are currently seventh in the league table, three points off third-placed Djurgårdens IF in the final Conference League qualification spot.
