The Suprettan finishes today with everything nearly sorted. The last automatic relegation place is yet to be decided with FC Trollhatten battling against Osters but FC Trollhatten do need a miracle to overcome that goal difference.
The title is up for grabs between IFK Norrkoping and Syrianska. Syrianska are not actually confirmed as being promoted yet as GIF Sundsvall are just three points behind. They will be promoted by the end of today as they go to relegated Vasby United. A draw will be enough for Syrianska to go up but they would like to go up as champions. IFK Norrkoping are home to GIF Sundsvall and with a play-off spot guaranteed for Sundsvall this game will decide the title. Syrianska should win at Vasby so Norrkoping will have to win to confirm they go up to the Allsvenskan as champions.
Relegation is decided with the exception of the miracle FC Trollhatten need to sneak into the play-offs ahead of Osters. Vasby United are down while Jonkoping Sodra will be in the play-offs.
Elsewhere the two relegated clubs from the Allsvenskan last season do battle at the Soderstadion with Hammarby facing Orgryte. Hammarby's season has been poor with no real chance of promotion and crowd problems effecting the club. Orgryte have also suffered in the doldrums this season.
Fixture in full:
Jonkoping Sodra v Landskrona BoIS
Hammarby v Orgryte
Degerfors v Ljungskile
Vasby United v Syrianska
FC Trollhatten v Osters
IFK Norrkoping v GIF Sundsvall
IK Brage v Falkenberg
Assyriska v Angelholm
Top Scorers:
Linus Hallenius has the award pretty much sown up with his 18 goals this season. The former GIS Sundsvall hit-man has been the only shining light really at Hammarby this season. It is expected that he may well move on this winter to the Allsvenskan with a number of clubs monitoring him.
Peter Ijeh has also been in a great form this season. The Nigerian has notching up 15 goals in Syrianska's brillient season in which they will be promoted. The former Viking forward has his chance to grace the Allsvenskan in 2011.
Par Cederqvist has done exceptionally well this season for struggling Jonkoping Sodra. The forward who has 14 goals this season going into today has been the leading light at Jonkoping. Should Jonkoping Sodra lose in the play-offs expect Cederqvist to move on.

GAIS 0-1 Orebro 20th October 2010
Orebro have all but asured themselves of European football next season after a 1-0 success at GAIS. The goal came from Tommy Lycén who deflected in on 15 minutes which sets Orebro up nicely with just three games to play.
GAIS are still in the trouble at the bottom and need realistically one more victory to all but secure their Allsvenskan status for 2011.

Mathias Florén levelled on the half-time whistle with Stefan Ishizaki involved in the build-up. Helsingborgs though are built of strong stuff these days and went ahead on 58 minutes when Erik Sundin pounced to planty past Jesper Christiansen. The game and points were effectively sealed on 73 minutes when Sundin got his 2nd. Helsingborgs a good job done last night now the hard work begins.

Malmo 0-1 Kalmar 18th October 2010
Could Malmo have lost the title last night? they looked all set to get at least a point until four minutes from time. The sky-blues have been impressive this season with their style of play and young squad but this could be a big defeat in the title race. Helsingborgs were also victorious last night which means they are both tied neck and neck on 58 points with just three to play. The only goal tonight came from Daniel Mendes as former champions Kalmar came away from the Swedbank Arena with all three points.

AIK 2-0 Gefle 16th October 2010
AIK got a vital win thanks to goals from summer signing Goran Ljubojevic and Mohamed Bangura who has had a fantastic season personally since signing in July. They were being fustrated before the goals however as they came up against an in-form Mattias Hugosson in the Gefle goal.
This defeat doesn't do Gefle's hopes of avoiding the drop any good while AIK still have work to do if they are to avoid going down.
