They are tipped to win Swedish Championship gold - hope to experience it

Mjällby won a historic Swedish Championship title last year - but is not seen as a champion team this year. Instead, it will be Hammarby who wins, at least according to Allsvenskan coaches and Swedish media.

"I hope to experience it," team captain Nahir Besara says during the kick-off meeting in Solna.

They had 75 points and won the Swedish Championship last year. This year, defender Tom Pettersson is clear about Mjällby's goal: a maximum of 90.

But the club is not a favorite for a new title.

You can see Hammarby ahead of Mjällby, Gais and Malmö FF.

"That's the only thing that drives me, that's the only thing that makes me kind of come to training and push this old body and train as hard as I do. So that's all I think about," says Nahir Besara.
