Djurgarden play host to Hammarby in the Allsvenskan this weekend and we're providing you with our free prediction for the game.
The hosts will be aiming to eat into Malmo's lead at the top of the table which currently stands at six points but Djurgarden have played one game fewer.
However, Malmo are in action on Saturday and could increase their lead before a ball has even been kicked on Sunday which will put even more pressure on Djurgarden to get a result and Hammarby have played well so far this season and only sit three places and seven points behind their hosts.

Player to watch – Deniz Hummet
Deniz Hummet's return to Swedish football following a brief spell in his homeland of Turkey has gone well with the 27-year-old scoring nine times in 30 appearances for Kalmar last season.
This season promises to be even better for the Turkish forward who has scored six times in Djurgarden's opening 11 league games, as well as providing two assists.
Hummet's best campaign to date produced a total of 12 league goals which he has achieved in Sweden's second tier with Gefle in 2017.
Kalmar's top scorer and assist provider this season
We're backing the former Troyes striker to score against Hammarby this weekend and help guide Djurgarden to a crucial three points in their battle with Malmo at the top of the Allsvenskan.
