Key Points
  • Sirius lead Allsvenskan after four rounds with a 3-2 win over Malmö FF.
  • Hammarby are tipped to win the title, while Mjällby and Djurgården are tipped second and fifth.
  • Coaches and players express surprise, confidence, and skepticism about media predictions.

Multiple media outlets report that Sirius are in sole lead of Allsvenskan after four rounds, having beaten Malmö FF 3-2 away. Hammarby are tipped to win the title, according to former Malmö player Hugo Larsson, who told Sportbladet he is worried about his former club's situation. Hammarby beat Mjällby 3-0 in the first round, as reported by multiple sources.

Media and coaches have tipped Mjällby to finish second and Djurgården fifth in Allsvenskan 2026. Djurgården coach Jani Honkavaara said in a press conference he was surprised his team was tipped so high. Malmö FF coach Miguel Angel Ramirez said the fourth-place tip is a message to the team, challenging them to prove themselves.

I am actually worried.

Hammarby coach Kalle Karlsson said he is not surprised his team is tipped at the top, noting that has been the talk all winter. Häcken coach Jens Gustafsson dismissed the media tip as total nonsense. Djurgården are tipped fifth by media and coaches, indicating they are not considered top contenders.

However, Djurgården captain Adam Ståhl believes the team can win the gold and said they should go all-in this year. Malmö FF are tipped fourth by media and coaches, but former player Simon Thern told Fotbollskanalen he tips them seventh, citing a lack of intensity in training. Sirius are tipped eighth by media and coaches, but Hammarby coach Kalle Karlsson said in a press conference that Sirius is a very good team he expects to be in the absolute top.

I would have liked to say Malmö but it doesn't look very fun right now.

According to Sportbladet, IFK Göteborg player Saidou Alioum said he will own the Allsvenskan this year. According to Expressen Sport, former footballer Martin Mutumba said IFK Göteborg could be relegated. Media have tipped Örgryte to finish last and be relegated, and Kalmar FF is also tipped to be relegated by media.

According to Fotbollskanalen, former Djurgården sporting director Bosse Andersson predicted Kristian Lien will win the Allsvenskan scoring title. The Allsvenskan 2026 season runs from April 4 to July 26, according to research.

I feel that there has been a bit too slack in Malmö FF in some way.
