Allsvenskan tonight

The 29th round of matches conclude tonight with five games scheduled. The pick of the bunch is AIK v Örebro a game that if the hosts win will be a massive step towards securing the title on Sunday. Örebro will be no pushovers here and will be up for up for this game. IFK Göteborg will be hoping that they can draw or even beat the Stockholm giants.

Elsewhere on Wednesday night Örgryte hosts Elfsborg in a game that the hosts simply have to win. The relegation is between three former giants of the Swedish game and with 3rd bottom going into a play-off with Assryiska everything is to play-for. Elfsborg have a Europa League place secured and are effectively out of the title race.

Trelleborgs host a Hammarby side that is also in real danger of going down. It is a situation that has many in the green part of Stockholm it with plenty to worry about. Trelleborgs have nothing to play for but nonetheless will want to end a satisfactory campaign by having something to say in the basement battle. Hammarby currently bottom with 22 points are a point off the play-off spot and a win will do a world of good.

Helsingborgs will be the opponents for Djurgården tonight with a disappointing season about to end for both clubs. Helsingborgs missing out on a Eruopa League place is disappointing but Djurgården facing relegation will have to win tonight and on Sunday. Henrik Larsson is retiring so Helsingborgs will be looking for a good result here to end the campaign on a high note.

BK Häcken have to win tonight to have any chance of grabbing the final Europa League place ahead of Kalmar. Six points behind today with a game in hand the Göteborg outfit, only promoted at the start of the campaign can end it with European football next summer. Jonas Henriksson will have to be on song tonight to get past opponents Gefle. Gefle have nothing but pride to play for tonight in a season that promised so much for the Gävle club.
