NFN's Sweden correspondent Nic Townsend has agreed to let us use articles from his excellent Doing Goals blog. Here's the first, a roundup of Gameweek six:

Helsingborg and Malmö remain undefeated after Gameweek Six, and occupy first and second respectively, thus adding a bit of extra spice to their Skåne derby on Sunday.

Agon Mehmeti set Malmö on the way to a convincing win over Örebro tonight with two first half goals. The excitement surrounding Malmö FF's centenary, and the performance they put in, were welcome distractions from the remainder of an Allsvenskan round that had failed to set the pulse racing.

Aftonbladet writer Simon Bank was reduced to quoting Jock Stein after Djurgården's fan-free loss at home to Helsingborg.

Alejandro Bedoya was the difference in Orebro SK's 1-0 win over Brommapojkarna at the Grimsta IP in Stockholm on Thursday. Bedoya's goal came in the 40th minute. Bedoya subbed out in the 83rd. Orebro are 8th in the Allsvenskanliga after six games played.

Will half the matches finish goalless again? Will anyone be allowed to witness Djurgården's match against Helsingborg? Is Tobias Grahn bigger than God? The Allsvenskan preview asks all these questions and answers none, as we look forward to the second round of matches.

Saturday

Brommapojkarna v AIK

Brommapojkarna will be without their slightly dim yellow card collector of a goalkeeper, Kristoffer Nordfeldt, who booted the ball away after being shown a yellow card for handling outside the area against Helsingborg last week.

We are always looking for new writers, particularly those focusing on Swedish and Danish football. If you fancy the job, get in touch.

Swedish 'bad boy' Tobias Grahn caused a moderate amount of tutting on his return to Allsvenskan today, during which he helped Mjallby to a scoreless draw at AIK.

Someone in the EFW Brilliant Ideas Dept. is in need of a serious pay rise - again. On this chilly but sunny Spring Scandinavian Sunday, they'd suggested we visit two games, in two different countries within the space of a couple of hours.

Alejandro Bedoya helped his cause to make the U.S. World Cup team by scoring the winner in Orebro SK's 1-0 win over Brommapojkarna on Thursday.

Three days after missing a potential game-tying chance in a 2-0 loss to GAIS, Bedoya scored his first goal of the season on a header five minutes before the end of the first half.

Ryan Miller and Halmstad look to pad their cushion from the bottom of the Allsvenskan when they host Brommapojkarna on Saturday while Ljungskile's duo of Nick Noble and Michael Thomas visit Jonkopings Sodra.

Two National Teamers Abroad clubs in action today, with one of the players on the field. Alejandro Bedoya started and went the distance in Orebro's 1-1 draw with Brommapojkarna at the Behrn Arena. Brommapojkarna took the lead in the 7th minute, with Orebro's Astrit Ajdarevic equalizing from the penalty spot in the 58th.
