On Saturday, the all-Swedish season starts and now The Football Studio's experts Daniel Nannskog and Therese Strömberg have seen which team in November stands as Swedish champions. Then the defending champion Häcken will have to step down one place.
"They come in in a completely different way with a completely different expectation picture, they will have opponents who take them more seriously, who know that this is one of the teams you have to beat this year if we are to be at the very top of the table," says columnist Therese Strömberg.
Daniel Nannskog agrees and adds another important factor.
"The team is going out and competing in the Champions League as well. How do you manage it as a fairly small club that hasn't been through the big adventure?
'Incredibly stable'
But Therese Strömberg emphasizes that the top flight will be tight this year.
"You shouldn't be surprised if Häcken is one of those teams that late in the season can still win gold. If you look at the squad-wise and the quality, it wouldn't surprise me if they might win gold this year. It's a really strong top three this year," she says.
And which club takes home the coveted gold then?
Djurgården, if you ask the expert duo.
"Given that they have both sharpened and broadened the squad during this winter with classmates like Oliver Berg and Jacob Bergström, they are incredibly stable. Then they've broadened with a couple of young talents. It's Djurgården's year this year," says Strömberg.
