Round 3 review

Round three ended with both BK Hacken and Helsingborgs continuing their perfect starts to the season with nine points from nine. BK Hacken were 4-2 victors over Trelleborgs while Helsingborgs overcame the presence of IFK Goteborg 2-0.
Elsewhere defending champions AIK remain without a victory after a surprising 3-1 loss away to GAIS. AIK haven't hit the ground yet and are just two places above the play-off zone with just two points.
One team that have hit the ground running are Mjallby. The newly-promoted side went to Orebro and won 2-0 in a ground where it is tough to get any result. Fellow newly promoted side Atvidabergs are rock bottom with no points and haven't found the net yet. They were thumped 4-0 at Halmstads.
Elfsborg were held 2-2 by the fighting spirit of Kalmar. The 2008 champions are in the relegation play-off zone after three games but certainly there is more to come from them.
Malmo are in good shape as they moved up to 3rd after victory at Gefle. The Southerners are enjoying a good start and hopefully it will continue.

Looking ahead to round 4, Malmo will look to get more points at home to Halmstads. Orebro go to AIK while two big names in Swedish football lock horns in the Gamla Ullevi as IFK Goteborg take on Djurgarden.
Mjallby host Gefle looking to continue their surprisingly great start to the season while Helsingborgs put their perfect start on the line in Trelleborgs. Likewise BK Hacken who face a stern test in Boras against an Elfsborg side that have scored eight goals in their last two games.
Winless Atvidabergs host Kalmar with both sides looking for their first victories of the season.
