Halmstad and Djurgarden battle for three points in a Swedish Allsvenskan round 12 clash on Sunday at Orjans Vall.

The hosts are coming off a 4-1 defeat to Halmstad last weekend. Simon Hedlund put Halmstad ahead from the spot in the 18th minute before Frederik Ihler doubled their lead three minutes later. Ibrahim Buhari's own goal halved the deficit heading into the break, but Rasmus Wikstrom and Taylor Silverholt's second-half strikes completed the rout.

Djurgarden, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a narrow 1-0 win at Brommapojkarna. Tobias Gulliksen's 19th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Halmstad have lost their last three games and will be keen to avoid dropping four in a row. HBK are one point above the drop zone, and another loss here could see them drop into the bottom three. However, the home side on the day have won the last four head-to-head games, so fans will hope that the trend continues.

Djurgarden, meanwhile, reached the highs of the UEFA Conference League semi-final, bowing out to eventual champions Chelsea. Their domestic form arguably took a hit from their continental exploits, but Jani Honkavaara's side ended a three-game winless run with a victory last weekend.

Expect the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
