Since winning the title (their 13th) in the 2015 season, Norrkoping's results declined slowly. The last season was their worst in the previous eight years, as they finished 12th. Before the start of this season, the club announced they would try to win another title, but we can now see that was not a realistic statement. Currently, after 22 rounds, Norrkoping are 6th with 34 points, ten away from European spots and 14 away from the 1st-placed Elfsborg.
Mjallby competed in the third tier of Swedish football only a few seasons ago. Still, by securing promotion in the consecutive years (2017 & 2018), they returned to the Swedish top-flight division. Since they arrived, Mjallby have been great by their standards, finishing between 5th and 9th place in all three seasons. This year, they are once again solid and currently sit in 7th place with 31 points, only two points behind their next opponent - Norrkoping.
Norrkoping vs Mjallby pick: Both teams to score
With 36 scored goals in 22 rounds, Norrkoping are one of the best offensive teams in the league. Only Elfsborg, Malmo, and Hacken scored more than them at this moment. In recent games, they rarely failed to score. In fact, they only failed to score vs Djurgarden in the previous 12 games. So, we think they are more than capable of scoring vs Mjallby. On the other hand, Norrkoping are not among the best defensive teams in Allsvenskan. Because of good offense and mediocre defense at best, they had the most games in Allsvenskan this season where both teams scored - 14/22 (64%).
Mjallby are not as good for both teams to score bet this season, but still, they are a team that rarely fails to score. On the road, they have been very efficient, scoring 1.83 goals per game in the previous six matches. In that six-game period, Mjallby only once failed to score against the league's leader, Elfsborg.
Both teams scored in the previous h2h game only two months ago when Norrkoping won 2:1 on the road. Additionally, the previous four h2h games all finished with both teams scoring.

Also, three more players who missed the previous games are questionable: Jacob Ortmark, Isak Ssewankambo, and Christopher Telo.
