The 2008 Allsvenskan comes to an end tomorrow and still there are issues to be solved. Firstly the title race has to be solved with Kalmar the leaders 3 points ahead of Elfsborg. Secondly the automatic relegation has to be solved as well. GIF Sundsvall and Ljungskile.
GAIS v AIK
This game will be important for AIK as they look to finish as high up the table as possible. Although GAIS will be up for it AIK could give Kevin Walker, Kenny Pavey and Timo Maanoja starts.
Malmö v GIF Sundsvall
No question about how need the points more with Sundsvall in real danger in going straight back down to the Suprettan. Robert Mambo-Mumba could start as GIF Sundsvall will fight for a place in the relegation play-off.
Helsingborgs v IFK Göteborg
4th against 3rd on Sunday at the Olympia is on the agenda and both know that their places in European competition next summer are secured. So Helsingborgs will field a weakened team without Henrik Larsson possibly. IFK Göteborg will rest Robin Söder as he recovers from an injury.
IFK Norrköping v Hammarby
Given that IFK Norrköping are already relegated and Hammarby will be eager for a win to bounce back from Monday's mauling, Hammarby will be the clear favourites for this one. Charlie Davies will be looking to get a few goals to end the season just as he did last year with a hat-trick on the final day of 2007. IFK Norrköpping will hope that is not the case.
Halmstads v Kalmar
Halmstads can stop Kalmar from winning the Allsvenskan by beating them and giving Elfsborg a chance. Though Kalmar will be looking to Viktor Elm for goals as he hit 4 last weekend and Patrik Ingelsten could get among the goals. Halmstads will be no pushovers and will be up for this game.
Gefle v Elfsborg
Gefle are safe from relegation so Elfsborg will take advantage of a side that has nothing to play for. Elfsborg need nine goals to win the title and thats if Kalmar lose 1-0. But with Gefle having nothing to play for it could be possible but don't bet on it.
Djurgården v Trelleborgs
Djurgården's mediocre season will end with a home game against Trelleborgs with the visitors a point ahead of the Stockholm side. Siggi Jonson will be hoping his side will end the season on a high and the Icelander will be looking towards 2009.
Örebro v Ljungskile
Örebro can send Ljungskile into a nervous Sunday afternoon if they can keep up their home form. Ljungskile will be hoping to get a point to secure a play-off with IF Brommapojkarna and fight for their status for 2009. Örebro will be hoping for a win to secure their highest league finish in years.
All kick-off times are at 15:00pm CET.
