In recent years, Djurgardens has cemented its status as one of the favorites in Allsvenskan, regularly competing in the Swedish championship race. The current season began with an away win over GAIS, confirming Djurgården's lofty ambitions for this football year.
Kalmar quickly returned to the country's top division, but the team began its Allsvenskan run with a home defeat to Västerås. The opponent wasn't particularly dangerous, but so far, Kalmar has shown that it's not ready for a comeback.
