Örebro SK – Kalmar FF
Örebro SK were tipped by some for a place in the top 3 this season but things have not gone their way at all. After a successful domestic cup campaign, in which they reached the final, expectations were high going into the league season. It took until the 9th round though before they won their first league game and they looked at one point almost certain to be relegated. However, in recent weeks they have had a remarkable turnaround in form, winning four on the trot and are now 13th in the table, just above the relegation zone. The addition of former Charlton and Standard Liege player Astrit Ajdarevic has proven to be a really shrewd signing as he has chipped in with a goal and several assists already in his 5 starts for the club. For tonight’s game against Kalmar FF they also have midfielder Martin Broberg and striker Pär Ericsson back from slight knocks, with Broberg likely to go straight into the starting eleven.
Kalmar FF have found it hard to impress all season and were on a four game winless streak before they secured a 1-0 home win against bottom team Halmstad in the last round. They also have plenty of players out injured and defenders Nenad Djordjevic, Viktor Agardius, Marcus Nilsson and Emin Nouri as well as midfielder Jonathan Ring and striker David Elm are all out. On a positive note, former CSKA Moscow midfielder Rasmus Elm made his first start this season against Halmstad, but is still a long way from being back to his best.
Örebro are hard to beat at home on the artificial grass at Behrn Arena and are hopeful of claiming their fifth straight win tonight. Especially since Kalmar are not too comfortable on the surface.

Newly promoted RB Leipzig are heading to bottom of the table MSV Duisburg tonight in the sixth round of the Frauen Bundesliga. Duisburg are still winless and faced heavy defeat in their last league outing to Eintracht Frankfurt (1-5). The Zebras have already conceded 21 goals this season while only scoring four and will struggle to stay in the division.
They still have to do without Sarah Freutel, Alexandra Emmerling, Jelena Prvulovic and Brooke Denesik, and received another blow as Danish centre back Emilie Henriksen also will miss the game due to illness.
RB Leipzig hope to pick up their second win of the season and were happy to see all their international players come back healthy and raring to go after the break. Elvira Herzog, Michela Croatto, Julia Magerl and Korina Janez all trained with the team this week and look sharp.
We’re rather confident of an away win here.

To say that Ajax’s start to the season has been poor is an understatement. In fact, Ajax are incredibly enough bottom of the Eredivise table after their opening eight games, the worst start ever for the club. It came as little surprise then when head coach Maurice Steijn was relieved of his duties and replaced with Hedwiges Maduro on an interim basis. He did not fare much better in his two games in charge, a 0-2 loss to Brighton followed up by a 2-5 loss at PSV. This led to the club appointing John van’t Schip as their new manger on a two year deal.
van’t Schip has only had a few days to prepare for tonight’s game against struggling Volendam, but just having a permanent manager, let alone a club legend, in place must be seen as a boost. Also, the visitors are the worst away team in league, having lost all their four league outings this season, scoring only four goals in the process while conceding a whopping 12.
This is the perfect rebound spot for Ajax and despite their struggles so far, we believe they will go all out here and win this comfortably.

Chelsea get a welcome break from league football when they welcome Championship side Blackburn Rovers to Stamford Bridge tonight. A place in the Carabao Cup quarter finals is at stake and the Blues aim to go all the way.
Rovers are expected to make some changes to the team that lost 0-1 at home to Swansea at the weekend and Jake Garrett, Adam Wharton, Dilan Markanday and Andrew Moran all could get a start here. Captain Lewis Travis will start but Rovers’ manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will have to do without top scorer Sam Szmodics who is nursing an injury picked up at the weekend.
Chelsea could also give some of the non regular starters a chance to shine, with the likes of Armando Broja and Ian Maatsen. We could also see Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk, who missed the league defeat to Brentford at the weekend, start.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said: “We will try to play with our best team. Some players will need to rest because after Saturday’s game we can’t take risks. But, in general, we will try to play our best team.”
We will take his word for it and expect Chelsea to win this rather comfortably.
