Hammarby IF

DLWWWL

Hammarby IF, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-0 Allsvenskan triumph over GIF Sundsvall.

In that game, Hammarby IF had 82% possession and 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Hammarby IF was Abdelrahman Saidi (1'). At the other end, GIF Sundsvall had 2 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target.

At least three goals per match have been seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Hammarby IF have taken part. Opposition teams scored 5 times in this period while Hammarby IF managed to get a total of 12. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, though.

Ahead of this clash, Hammarby IF haven't been beaten in the league by GIF Sundsvall in their previous 9 games. A decent run, indeed.

GIF Sundsvall

LWDLLL 📉

GIF Sundsvall have attacked well in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 7 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Brian Clarhaut will no doubt take that as a positive sign, GIF Sundsvall can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same outings.

Leading up to this clash, GIF Sundsvall:

• haven't beaten Hammarby IF when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not good.
• are without an away win for the past 8 matches in the league. Their travelling support will be needed here, for sure.

📋 Team News: Hammarby IF

Dennis Collander (Knee Injury), Richárd Magyar (Foot Injury) and Jon Gudni Fjóluson (Cruciate Ligament Injury) aren’t available for Hammarby IF gaffer Martí Cifuentes.

It’s our opinion that Bajen will possibly use a 4-3-3 system in the match, handing starts to Davor Blazevic, Simon Sandberg, Edvin Kurtulus, Mads Fenger, Shaquille Pinas, Nahir Besara, Jeppe Andersen, Darijan Bojanic, Gustav Ludwigson, Veton Berisha and Abdelrahman Saidi.

🗞️ Team News: GIF Sundsvall

Owing to an otherwise available group of players, there is just the one fitness problem for the GIF Sundsvall gaffer Brian Clarhaut to be concerned about. Linus Hallenius (Cruciate Ligament Injury) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Giffarna might play in a 4-3-1-2 system using Andreas Andersson, Robert Lundstroem, Alexander Blomqvist, Forrest Lasso, Rasmus Lindkvist, Paya Pichkah, Joe Corona, Ludvig Naavik, Saku Ylaetupa, Pontus Engblom and Ronaldo Damus.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Hammarby IF have it within them to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, GIF Sundsvall will be up against it to get shooting opportunities - but, we do see them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a decent 3-1 margin for Hammarby IF at the end of the 90 minutes.
