äntligen: han är tillbaka Djurgardens IF har just nu meddelat att en nyckelspelare kommer tillbaka
Back in league action following successful continental outings, Elfsborg and Djurgardens IF will resume their quests for top-three finishes as they meet at Boras Arena for a Swedish Allsvenskan clash on Sunday afternoon.
The Yellow Ones recorded a highly-impressive victory at Sheriff Tiraspol in the week, whilst the Blue Stripes made lightwork of a European minnow on home soil.
Leaving the club at the beginning of June to take up managerial responsibilities at Scottish Premiership outfit Aberdeen, Jimmy Thelin threatened to derail Elfsborg’s promising campaign so far in 2024, but Sunday’s hosts have gone from strength to strength following the departure of the 46-year-old.
After leading Aalborg BK to the top tier of Danish football during the 2023-24 campaign, Oscar Hiljemark has managed to bring his magic touch across Scandinavian borderlines, with the Yellow Ones winning six straight matches across all competitions since the instilment of the 32-year-old coach.
Elfsborg’s most recent victory arrived during a trip to Moldovan giants Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday night, when veteran midfielder Simon Hedlund managed to hold his nerve from 12 yards out in the 86th minute to hand his side a narrow advantage heading into the second leg next week.
Focusing on Allsvenskan matters, the Yellow Ones have been flawless since returning from the month-long summer break, collecting a maximum of nine points from three league matches, an exceptional run of form that has included a 5-3 beating of Hacken and the 3-0 smashing of Brommapojkarna.
Enjoying a perfect July in the Swedish top flight to date, Elfsborg have managed to move themselves up to fourth in the Allsvenskan standings ahead of Sunday’s match, with the hosts four points behind third-placed Mjallby AIF, who currently occupy the final Conference League spot.
