Fresh from an impressive victory last weekend, relegation-threatened Orgryte IS welcome top-three hopefuls Djurgardens to Gamla Ullevi on Monday evening for round 13 of the Allsvenskan.
The Gothenburg hosts will aim to make home advantage count once again after edging a seven-goal thriller against Hacken last time out, although that result still leaves Andreas Holmberg's side second from bottom in the Swedish top-flight standings.
Djurgardens, meanwhile, secured a comfortable victory over Halmstad last weekend and sit fifth in the Allsvenskan table at the time of writing, although they have played one game fewer than fourth-placed Hacken and two fewer than AIK in third.

Orgryte returned to the Swedish top flight this season after 16 years in the lower divisions, and life back in the Allsvenskan initially appeared encouraging after they collected four points from their opening two matches.
However, reality soon caught up with Holmberg's men, who then endured a nine-match league winless run (D2, L7) following their matchday-two victory over Mjallby.
The newly promoted outfit finally brought that miserable sequence to an end last weekend by claiming a thrilling 4-3 victory over top-three hopefuls Hacken, with Noah Christoffersson scoring the winner in the 87th minute to end a three-month wait for success.
While the Gothenburg-based hosts will hope that result sparks a sustained improvement, Monday's fixture presents a stern challenge against opponents they have failed to beat across their last 10 meetings (D5, L5).
Djurgardens are aiming to record a third successive victory in this fixture, although the most recent meeting between the clubs came as far back as 2013 when the Iron Stoves claimed a 1-0 win in the domestic cup.
Few would back against Jani Honkavaara's side extending that dominance given their encouraging form since the mid-season break, having won consecutive league matches after a 1-1 friendly draw with Sirius in June.
Djurgardens secured a 4-2 victory over Hacken before cruising to a 3-0 success against bottom-placed Halmstad last weekend, where Bo Hegland struck twice before the break and Kristian Lien completed the rout after the interval.
Lien has delivered consistent returns in the final third, having scored five goals across his last seven league appearances, including three across the most recent two, and he will hope to maintain that momentum as the Iron Stoves chase a continental place.
Djurgardens could climb as high as third with victory on Monday depending on results elsewhere, with fourth-placed Hacken, who are one point ahead despite having played one match more, facing Halmstad on Sunday, while third-placed AIK, who have played three games more than the Iron Stoves, sit only two points clear after Saturday's win over GAIS.

Whispers predicts: Orgryte 1-3 Djurgardens
Despite Orgryte's victory last time out, the bookmakers still make them heavy underdogs for Monday's contest, with the hosts priced at 23/4 (6.75) and Djurgardens available at 39/100 (1.39), making the visitors the obvious selection given their outstanding away form.
The goals market also appeals considering Djurgardens' involvement in high-scoring matches and Orgryte's recent entertaining contests, with at least three goals produced in each of the Society's last three Allsvenskan outings, making over 2.5 goals at 47/100 (1.47) an attractive option alongside a 3-1 correct score in favour of the visitors at 10/1 (11.00).
Lien to score anytime is another bet worth considering at 19/20 (1.95) given the striker's recent form, while the corner market also offers value with Djurgardens over 6.5 corners at 1/1 (2.00) after that selection landed in five of their last six league matches.
> Match result – Djurgardens win at 39/100 (1.39) | Likelihood: Probable
