night as he played his last ever professional game for Swedish side Helsingborg. Larsson had
announced his intent to retire at the end of this season but decided to bow out one game early in
order to play his last match in front of the Helsinborg supporters.

If you take a peek at the standings in Allsvenskan after the twentieth round you could easily
believe that the battle at the top was as close as ever. If you actually saw the games of the
twentieth round you'd wonder what in the world happened to a couple of these top contenders.
Elfsborg may only have a one point lead at the moment, but they are clearly growing into a heavy
title favorite.

The twentieth round of Allsvenskan gives us two very interesting matches at the top of the table.
Kalmar is up against the wall as they take on league leaders AIK. The reigning champions of Kalmar
will need to come up with a good result in order to remain in a strong title contender. In the
other notable match-up for the top, disease-ridden and injury-laden Elfsborg takes on Örebro only
three days after their match against Lazio in the Europa League.

The seventeenth round of Allsvenskan leaves us scratching our heads, with absolutely no idea what
to expect in the title race. Allsvenskan has been called the second most competitive league in
Europe after the top flight in San Marino and it's certainly living up to that reputation. The top
five teams are currently all neck-in-neck with only three points separating Helsingborg in first
place from AIK in fifth.

In a perfect world, a Swedish Cup fixture against a Superettan side like Mjällby would provide AIK
with an easy victory by a three goal margin. Reality is unfortunately a bit more complicated and
the Swedish Cup quarter-final on Wednesday promises to provide quite a challenge for our beloved
AIK.
Superettan teams have performed well against Allsvenskan sides so far in the Cup.

In a brief moment of clarity I once wrote that I will avoid making predictions because doing so
will eventually offer proof that I have no idea of what I'm talking about. While I was smart enough
to figure that much out on my own, I am unfortunately dumb enough to ignore my own advice.
The following entry will present my predictions for the fall season in Allsvenskan.

Ivan Obolo scored the winner in tonight's Stockholm derby at Råsunda, where AIK beat
Djurgården 1-0. "A really fine goal," Obolo told Canal Plus. Modest, isn't he?
AIK's Sporting Director was asked about Obolo's future after the game, and with the transfer
window approaching, he fell short of a resounding commitment to keep the Argentinian in Sweden.
