Superettan Preview

The Superettan begins on Saturday with two games. Falkenbergs host Jonkoping Sodra while newly promoted Degerfors go to Henrik Larsson's Landskrona BoIS.
As for the two relegated sides from the Allsvenskan in 2009, Hammarby start life in the 2nd tier with a trip to Angelholm on Tuesday night. Orgryte are at home to Vasby United as they look to bounce back up to the Allsvenskan at the first attempt.
The two furtherest northern clubs do battle as IK Brage go to GIF Sundsvall. GIF Sundsvall may be an outside bet for promotion but IFK Norrkoping struggled last year and may be among the names in the frame for promotion. Hammarby will be favourites to win the league but the likes of Angelholm, Jonkoping and Ljungskile could spring a surprise or two.
As for relegation well IK Brage will be favourites to make a return to the 3rd tier while Degerfors struggled badly when relegated from the Superettan two years ago. Falkenbergs and FC Trollhatten are normally in the mix but have experience of peaking at the right time to move clear. Vasby United may also be among the names in the bottom of the table.
