The club from Hällevik has shown progress, winning the Allsvenskan last year. They also added the national cup to their achievements.

The Salzburg side were champions fourteen times between 2007 and 2023, but have since struggled to reclaim the top spot, finishing third in the Bundesliga last season. They've already dropped points at the start of the new campaign.
The Swedes started in the Champions League, and even managed to get past Lincoln Red Imps — 3-0 at home, followed by a goalless draw in Gibraltar.
