+ Allsvenskan

Västerås disappeared in the previous round, but the battle to secure Allsvenskan play next season is still on for five clubs; Kalmar FF, Värnamo, Halmstad, IFK Göteborg, and IFK Norrköping. This weekend's hottest duel will be the meeting between teams 13 and 15, "Blåvitt" and Kalmar. There are four points between the teams with two rounds left of the series.

Matches: IFK Göteborg-Kalmar FF (Saturday), Brommapojkarna–Värnamo, Halmstad–Djurgården (both on Sunday), IFK Norrköping–AIK (Monday).

The relegation battle

  1. IFK Norrköping, 31 points, -20 in goal difference.

  2. IFK Göteborg, 30, -9.

  3. Halmstad, 30, -15.

  4. Värnamo, 27, -11 (relegation place).

  5. Kalmar, 26, -21.

+ Damallsvenskan

Trelleborg is already relegated. For four clubs, hope remains with two rounds left. Linköping has good conditions to survive but faces superior and already crowned champion Rosengård away. AIK, which is on a relegation place, faces bottom-placed Trelleborg.

Matches: AIK–Trelleborg, Vittsjö–BP (both Saturday) and Rosengård-Linköping, Häcken–Kif Örebro (both Sunday).

+ The relegation battle

  1. Linköping, 26 points, -16 in goal difference.

  2. BP, 24, -17.

  3. AIK, 20, -23 (relegation place)

  4. Kif Örebro, 19, -19.

+ Superettan

Direct spot or qualification? Degerfors tops the table but still doesn't know how the road to Allsvenskan looks. One point away against third-place Landskrona on Saturday secures the simplest and most direct route to the series that the club fell out of last year. For Öster and Landskrona, the finish is about keeping away from chasing Helsingborg while securing one of the two direct spots.

Matches: Landskrona-Degerfors, Sandviken–Gif Sundsvall (both Saturday), Öster–Skövde, Örebro–Helsingborg (both Sunday).

The top battle

  1. Degerfors, 54 points, +23 in goal difference.

  2. Öster, 48, +20.

  3. Landskrona, 48, +15 (qualification place).

  4. Helsingborg, 47, +9.

  5. Sandviken, 43, +10.

The relegation battle

Seven teams are playing to avoid ending up in Division 1, and among these are five clubs that have been in the top league in recent years; Örebro, Varberg, Östersund, Gefle, and Gif Sundsvall.

  1. Örebro, 35 points, +/-0 in goal difference.

  2. Varberg, 33, +/-0.

  3. Oddevold, 33, -11.

  4. Östersund, 31, -13 (qualification place).

  5. Gefle, 29, -16 (qualification place).

  6. Gif Sundsvall, 28, -15.

  7. Skövde, 24, -23.
