With their 8 point advantage in the league table, Hammarby fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Helsingborg.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hammarby and Helsingborg.
4 - 6 - 4 with 15-19. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Helsingborg when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Helsingborg play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Hammarby form and stats
3 victories, 5 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Hammarby have to build on here at Tele2 Arena in the Allsvenskan. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Tele2 Arena, but a victory now would be sweet for Hammarby.
A good away victory last time out for Hammarby, who won 4-0 against IFK Göteborg (placed 12th). In the match before that, Hammarby hosted Kalmar and drew the game 3-3.
As mentioned above, Hammarby "killed" IFK Göteborg in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Muamer Tanković was absolutely essential when Hammarby beat IFK Göteborg 4-0, scoring three goals.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Europa League game versus Lech Poznan in only three days. This game is also played here at Tele2 Arena.
Hammarby has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. On the other hand, Hammarby have conceded 9 goals.
Helsingborg form and stats
There's been little loot from Helsingborg's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Allsvenskan. Helsingborg, who have the the worst goal difference (-12) in Allsvenskan, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 4 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Helsingborg are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
There were no winners in Helsingborg's previous match, a Allsvenskan home game that ended 1-1 vs Kalmar (placed 15th). Before that, Helsingborg secured a home win against Djurgården with the score 3-1.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Helsingborg as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. Helsingborg have conceded 19 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Helsingborg - Hammarby 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - one - six (Hammarby wins - draws - Helsingborg wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
