Mjallby preview: Won last two in the league
Mjallby made the trip to Varnamo in their last league game where a goal from Arvid Brorsson put the visitors in front inside the opening minute.
Jacob Bergstrom scored the all-important second goal in the second half to put Mjallby 2-0 up which meant that Samuel Kalu's 73rd-minute effort for Varnamo proved to be nothing more than a consolation goal.
Mjallby have played a game more than the teams directly above and below them which means their current placing of third might prove false should their rivals win their games in hand.
Predicted lineup: Törnqvist (GK), Pettersson, Ståhl, Rösler, Brorsson, Johansson, Gustafson, Gustavsson, Røjkjær, Bergström & Johansson

The hosts scored three times in the opening 23 minutes to lead 3-0 at the interval and added a fourth goal in the 65th minute to end any faint hopes of a Norrkoping comeback.
The visitors did pull a goal back shortly after but another Sirius goal in the 77th minute wrapped up a 5-1 victory for the hosts.
