Hosts Lead H2H

Mjallby Playing Better than Recent Results Might Suggest
Mjallby are the Allsvenskan title holders, but are having an awful start to the 2026 campaign, claiming just 16 points in 12 matches and sit in 10th place.
They have been more successful in home matches, registering three wins in their last five appearances across competitions against Brommapojkarna 3-0, Halmstad 2-0 and Hammarby 2-1.
Last weekend they had 2.71-1.27 expected goals, 61% possession and 27-7 shots against AIK Stockholm but still suffered an unlucky 2-1 loss here. Ali Youssef was the one scoring a consolation in stoppage time.
Visitors Enjoying Elite Status
Vasteras earned promotion to the top flight last season and it looks like they won’t have problems keeping the Allsvenskan membership card, sitting in 8th place with 18 points after 12 matches.
After wrapping up May with a 5-4 thriller home loss against Goteborg, Alexander Rubin’s side returned to winning ways in their first appearance this month, beating last-placed Halmstad 3-1 where the opposition had one player sent off early.
Last weekend, Vasteras hosted out-of-form Degerfors and claimed a 2-0 victory, lucky to keep the net intact considering visitors fired 14 shots.
Team News
Elliot Stroud is the only sidelined player for the home side, recovering from a knee injury.
