Player to Watch: Kristian Lien (Djurgårdens IF)
Kristian Lien has been in outstanding form, scoring twice against Hacken to take his league tally to seven goals this season.
His movement, finishing and ability to attack space make him Djurgården's biggest attacking threat.
Playing alongside the creative Bo Asulv Hegland, Lien will fancy his chances of adding to his goal tally against a Halmstads defence that has struggled throughout the campaign.
Player to Watch: Omar Faraj (Halmstads BK)
Faraj is Halmstads' leading scorer with three league goals and remains their best hope of causing an upset.
His physical presence and direct running offer the visitors an outlet on the counterattack.
Against an aggressive Djurgården side, Faraj will need to make the most of every opportunity if Halmstads are to end their poor run of results.
