Mjallby take on the visitors Kalmar in the round 13 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Monday, June 3rd at Strandvallen (Hällevik).
Mjallby are fairly typical example of a football elevator. However, their range of movements is quite wide. It is noteworthy that they swiftly moved up and down from the Superettan, the second division, twice. First, in 2015, they were relegated from the Allsvenskan, and then in 2019, they swiftly climbed back up. The current season is still far from over, but it has already been successful for them. They reached the final of the cup, although they ultimately lost the decisive match. In terms of the championship, they are holding a similar position to last season, finishing in the modest 9th position in 2022. They had a decent start with 7 points from the first 3 rounds. After a couple of defeats at the end of April, they managed to secure goalless draws against AIK and Hammarby while defeating Sirius. However, their recent matches have been unsuccessful. While they won against Goteborg, even away from home, they suffered consecutive defeats against Djurgarden, Halmstad, and Hacken, and all losses were without scoring a goal. As a result, the team has dropped to the lower end of the top ten.

Kalmar were founded in 1910, and on the eve of their centennial anniversary, they had their best and, in fact, only truly successful period. In 2007, they won the cup, their 3rd trophy in the club's history, and the following season they became the country's champions for the first time, also reaching the final. Finally, in 2009, they began by winning the Swedish Super Cup. Since then, the only notable achievement was their runner-up position in the 2011 cup, but once again, they lost the decisive match. In the championship, finishing 4th in the previous season can be considered a quite good result. Moreover, the team has managed to maintain its position at this level. They started the 2023 season with a loss against Malmo, but then secured three consecutive victories. After a couple of draws and a loss, they regained momentum towards the end of spring. In their last four matches in the Allsvenskan, the Reds accumulated 10 points, with only AIK managing to hold them to a 1-1 draw. This allowed them to take the lead in a certain peloton. The top three teams have pulled away and already seem unreachable for the rest, but Henrik Jensen's team is positioned right behind them.
In the previous season, the Black and Yellow team earned 4 points in 2 matches against the Red Brothers. Additionally, in a cup match in March, they emerged as winners after a goalless draw and a penalty shootout. Based on the odds, experts expect a fairly evenly contested match. However, the form of the visitors could outweigh the home advantage. It is recommended to bet on a victory for Kalmar with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Kalmar to win with 0.0 handicap.
