STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Swedish minnows Mjallby are on the brink of one of the greatest upsets in the country’s soccer history, set to clinch the top-flight title this weekend after a season built on academic-inspired playing principles used to outwit richer rivals.
Mjallby are 11 points clear of second-placed Hammarby from Stockholm in the Allsvenskan with five games left to play, and a win at home to Elfsborg on Saturday would leave Hammarby needing to beat a resurgent IFK Gothenburg on Sunday to keep the title race alive.
