Match 3: Solna vs Kalmar
Match analysis: Solna are in poor form ahead of the league break. They have lost four of their last five matches and subsequently lost two more friendlies during the break. This poor form has caused them to part ways with manager Henning Berg, while interim coach Hennock Goitom will start his tenure with a victory.
For Kalmar, they are in the throes of relegation and are four points away from safety. In addition, they are unbeaten in their last four head-to-head meetings, drawing in each of their last three matches, but they have been at a disadvantage ahead of the match.
Solna, on the other hand, will be looking to secure a win by a narrow margin and be hoping for a clean sheet.

Houston haven't reached their pace this season and will need to prove themselves in this game. And Los Angeles FC are the better team at the moment to be able to win this game.
