Gold Favorite: Djurgården (65 points, +34 in goal difference)

Djurgården has everything in its own hands before the closing away towards Norrköping. With a three point lead to the competitors, one point is all that is needed to secure the SM gold.

Challengers: Malmö FF (62 points, +35) and Hammarby (62 points, +34)

Merit just isn't enough for Malmö FF and Hammarby. But if Djurgården loses to Norrköping at the same time, the gold will end up with one of the challengers as they will then have a better goal difference. If MFF and Hammarby win with equal numbers, gold goes to Skåne thanks to better goal difference (right now +35 to +34). If Hammarby, on the other hand, wins with a goal more, both teams end up with the same score (65) and the same goal difference (for example +36). Then Bajen becomes Swedish champion thanks to more goals made (currently 71 against 51).

On safe ground at present: Kalmar FF (23 points, –22) and Östersund (25 points, –19).

Kalmar should preferably win away against Sirius to be sure to play in the Allsvenskan also next year. The nightmare scenario for KFF is a loss to Sirius at the same time as both Falkenberg and Sundsvall win their matches. Then Kalmar leaves.

In theory, Östersund may in theory end up in qualifying, but the team must then lose with gigantic figures away to IFK Gothenburg.

In qualifying place: Falkenberg (22 points, –38)

Can still both leave immediately, be forced to qualify or pass the contract. Points at home against AFC Eskilstuna are enough to retain the qualifying spot, unless Sundsvall simultaneously beats AIK. A victory will take Falkenberg to safe ground if Kalmar does not beat Sirius away.

On relegation place: AFC Eskilstuna (20 points, –31) and Gif Sundsvall (20 points, –18).

Both AFC Eskilstuna and Gif Sundsvall need to win their closing matches to stay in the Allsvenskan. AFC meets Falkenberg, who is currently in qualifying, while Sundsvall plays away against AIK.

It was a long time ago - but the Swedish gold battle has been like this before:
