Norrkoping take on the visitors Mjallby in the round 11 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Monday, May 26th at Platinumcars Arena (Norrköping).
Norrköping last lifted the Swedish championship in 2015, claiming their 15th title overall. Since then, however, the once-proud side has gradually slipped down the pecking order in domestic football. They haven’t qualified for European competition since 2019 and ended last season in 11th place with just 34 points, behind modest Brommapojkarna on goal difference. Remarkably, they finished just one win above Värnamo, who had to face relegation playoffs. This season under Martin Falk, Norrköping started brightly with a 4-3 win at home over Öster, and later notched victories against Halmstad and Värnamo, scoring three goals in each. But overall, losses have outnumbered wins, and even away at Hammarby they could only manage a draw. They finally returned to winning ways in the last round, defeating Sirius.

Mjällby look like serious contenders for a top finish. The yellow and black side returned to Sweden's top flight in 2019 and have steadily progressed since. In 2023, they reached their first-ever Swedish Cup final, though they came up short in the decider. In the same year, they finished a respectable 5th in Allsvenskan with 50 points. This season started slowly for Anders Torstensson's team, with two draws, but they then hit their stride with five straight league wins. A narrow loss to current leaders AIK followed, but they bounced back impressively with a win over Djurgården — a Europa Conference League semi-finalist. They’ve continued their strong form with victories against Brommapojkarna and Hammarby.
Mjällby have won each of the last three meetings between the sides. The visitors are clearly in better shape and should have enough to extend their winning streak — back Mjällby to win.
Prediction for the match: Mjallby to win.
