The action continues in round 14 of the Swedish Allsvenskan as Djurgarden play host to Degerfors on Sunday. Degerfors, who have lost each of their last five visits to the 3Arena, will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell and snap their four-game losing streak

Djurgardens have won four of their 13 Allsvenskan matches so far while losing five and claiming four draws to collect 16 points and sit eighth in the league standings.
Degerfors, on the other hand, were left empty-handed yet again as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Brommapojkarna at the Stora Valla last time out.
The Orebro outfit have lost four games on the trot, conceding nine goals and scoring twice since a 2-1 victory over Norrkoping on May 25.
Degerfors have picked up 13 points from their 13 league games to sit 13th in the standings, level on points with Halmstad, Brommapojkarna and Sirius.
