Mjällby vs IFK Göteborg team news and expert analysis
The Hällevik-based club won the Allsvenskan last year, adding the Swedish Cup to their trophy haul. However, little has gone their way this time around. In the Champions League, they lost to their second opponents, Slovan Bratislava. After dropping into the Europa League, the Swedes suffered a home defeat to Rapid before being thrashed in Vienna. Their domestic campaign has also seen them slide into the lower half of the table amid a string of defeats. They failed to collect a single point from their two matches against Djurgården.
The Gothenburg-based side finished fourth with 51 points. That earned them a place in the Conference League, where they eliminated Levadia before losing to Gent 0-1 and drawing 0-0. They have also experienced a downturn in their domestic campaign, particularly in recent weeks. They did, however, beat Örgryte before comfortably overcoming Olympic in the cup.
The reigning champions are currently averaging just 1.33 goals per match while conceding 1.61. Klemensen and his teammates have scored 1.26 goals per game and conceded considerably more, at 2.05.
