Djurgarden will welcome Rijeka to Tele2 Arena for the second leg of their Europa Conference League second qualifying round tie on Thursday night.
Djurgarden claimed a 2-1 win in the first leg at away last week, week with Finndell and Edvaedsen getting on the scoresheet for the Swedes, while Vuckic scored for Rijeka.
Djurgarden were involved in a domestic league fixture on the weekend, where they claimed a 2-1 away win over Hacken. They have now gone unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions and have won all their last six in a row.
They also gone unbeaten in their last eight matches and thus will head into the match confident of protecting and adding to their lead as they look to advance to the third qualifying round.
Meanwhile Rijeka will have a mountain to climb on Thursday as they not head into the clash with a one-goal deficit they are also playing at away, which is in itself a disadvantage.
Rijeka have also been struggling for form lately and have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions, and have won one, lost one and drawn one of their last three games on the road.
However, Rijeka will still feel they have a chance of advancing to the next round of the competition, with their first leg consolation goal giving them a tiny lifeline on Wednesday and thus they will head into the fixture all guns blazing for a win.
