Helsingborgs 3-1 MIKA Yerevan 2nd July 2009
Helsingborgs were made to work for their 3-1 win over Armenian side MIKA Yerevan, in front of a low-turn out at the Olympia. Henrik Larsson got the ball rolling when he made it 1-0 on 50 minutes. But MIKA pressed and found a shock equiliser through Montenegro Cano on 66 minutes.
It then looked as if a draw was on the cards until Henrik Larsson chiped Artur Harutyunyan on 86 minutes. But Erik Sundin made it a healthy 3-1 win 2 minutes into added time. Helsingborgs the favourite next week.

Europa League Preview
Helsingborgs are in action on Thursday night as they get their European campaign underway against Armenian side MIKA Yerevan. Helsingborgs will be strong favourites against their lesser known opponents from Armenia.
Helsingborgs: Helsingborgs secured their place in the semi-finals of the Svenska Cupen last weekend with a 3-1 win over Syrianska so they will be up for this game at the Olympia. Tomorrow could also see Rasmus Jönsson start. Henrik Larsson, linked with a move to Australian side Gold Coast United may lead the team. René Makondele, scorer of 3 goals this season could be in line.
MIKA Yerevan: Hailing from the Armenian capital of Yerevan, MIKA are an unknown product in Europe. Their record in European competition is not spectacular with 3 wins, 2 draw and 9 defeats in 14 previous UEFA Cup games. MIKA are currently 2nd in the Bardzraguyn Khumb and finished 4th last year.
The 1st leg is on tomorrow night at the Olympia with a 20:45 CET kick-off with the 2nd leg on the 9th of July. The winners play the winners of Lisburn Distillery (Northern Ireland) v Zestaponi (Georgia).

Allsvenskan restart preview
The Allsvenskan is back this weekend after a month off due to the internationals and there have been some changes at the clubs.
AIK: AIK are still without Tomi Maanoja, Kevin Walker and Miran Burgić. Maanoja is out for the season while Kevin Walker could be out and Burgić has time to recover. AIK are away to Örebro on Sunday.
Brommapojkarna: Brommapojkarna have upset the odds by not struggling to badly during the 1st half of the season but more will be needed if the drop is to be avoided.
Djurgården: A dismal 1st half of the season which has seen the Stockholm giants in the bottom 2 for the break. Andrej Komac has left the club as has Aki Riihilahti.
Elfsborg: 2nd going into the break Elfsborg need to continue their good form and who knows what will happen. Emir Bajrami will be subject to transfer speculation after impressing in the U21 championships.
GAIS: Started strongly but finished poorly GAIS need a few good results but much will depend on the future of Wanderson.
Gefle: A strong unit and a strong 1st half which has produced some good results. Hans Berggran has been good so far and will need to keep it up.
Halmstads: A quiet 1st half but improvment is needed. Anselmo hasn't hit top form and will be called upon for it soon.
Hammarby: A dreadful 1st half which has seen Hammarby near the relegation zone for the most part. The future of Charlie Davies remains a question and Louay Chanko has left for Åalborg.
BK Häcken: stayed out of the relegation zone for the break which is a sucess but a tough 2nd half awaits and BK Häcken need to sign new players.
Helsingborgs: 3rd but have suffered some dismal losses and need to pick-up. Henrik Larsson could be leaving for Australia.
IFK Göteborg: Top going into the break but that is in trouble with defender Matias Bjärsmyr expected to move abroad. Robin Söder is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury and Pontus Wernbloom has moved on to AZ Alkmaar.
Malmö: A disappointing 1st half but Malmö will need some new blood to push for a Europa league place. Labinot Harbuzi may be leaving and Guilermo Molins may do also.
Kalmar: Kalmar have champions league football later this month but may not be in Europe at all next summer. Kalmar have struggled since winning the Allsvenskan last November and Rasmus Elm is wanted by Bayern Munich.
Trelleborgs: Trelleborgs are proving to be a dark-horse. Strong at home and went into the break in 5th. Kristian Haynes has proved a hit this year and the club have Andreas Drugge to thank for as well.
Örebro: The departure of on loan Emra Tahirović has seen Robert Walker return from a spell in the Superettan with Åtvidaberg. Nordin Gerzić remains a key player as does Eric Bassombeng and John Alvbåge in goal. Kim Olsen is the top scorer.
Örgryte: Changes were needed at the club that had just 2 points secured in the 1st half of the season. A new coach in Åge Hareide the former Norway boss has taken over with a simple target, avoid the drop.
AIK: AIK are still without Tomi Maanoja, Kevin Walker and Miran Burgić. Maanoja is out for the season while Kevin Walker could be out and Burgić has time to recover. AIK are away to Örebro on Sunday.
