- KO: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Hitachi Energy Arena
Vasteras SK host Djurgardens IF at Hitachi Energy Arena on Monday evening in an Allsvenskan contest.
The hosts return to action after a disastrous six-goal defeat at Djurgardens last week, and now face the same opponent at Hitachi Energy Arena.
Djurgardens make the trip to Vasteras in third place and remain firmly involved in the race near the top end of the division.
With that heavy defeat still fresh in the mind, the hosts will need major improvements if they are to avoid back-to-back reversals this weekend.

Vasteras SK and Djurgardens IF meet for the second time in the Allsvenskan this season. Djurgardens IF claimed a thumping 6:0 win at 3Arena last weekend.
The visitors have dominated past encounters, claiming four wins and one draw in five meetings since 2024.
Vasteras SK team overview
Vasteras SK come into Monday’s fixture after a mixed run of Allsvenskan results.
Alexander Rubin’s side enjoyed a four-game unbeaten sequence before a punishing 6:0 defeat against Djurgarden last week.
SK had picked up ten points from their four previous league games, and come into this fixture now seventh in the division, four points behind their opponents on Monday.
A lack of consistency in home performances has seen Rubin’s men win only two of seven Allsvenskan games at Hitachi Energy Arena this season.
High-scoring outcomes have been relatively frequent, with nine of their last 14 matches producing over 2.5 goals, including a remarkable 5:4 home defeat against IFK Goteborg.
Head coach Rubin has one confirmed injury absentee. Frédéric Nsabiyumva remains sidelined with a foot injury.

Djurgardens IF team overview
Djurgardens IF make the trip to Vasteras with sky-high confidence after last weekend’s superb 6:0 win against Vasteras. Kristian Stromland bagged a hat-trick with the hosts scoring three goals in both halves to complete a dominant victory at 3Arena.
Jani Honkavaara’s side have been in excellent form over the past month, recording four wins during a five-game unbeaten run.
Impressive in the final third, IF scored 14 goals across those four victories while also keeping four clean sheets in their five unbeaten fixtures.
The visitors now sit third in the Allsvenskan table, but 15 points behind runaway leaders Sirius.
Head coach Honkavaara has a strong squad available this week. Peter Langhoff is the only confirmed injury absentee for the away side.
