With their 2 point advantage in the league table, Hammarby fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against IFK Göteborg.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Allsvenskan match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Kalmar, so at least Hammarby are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike IFK Göteborg's home stadium. The visitors last 16 games on artifical turf have ended in 4 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses.
Hammarby form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Hammarby have to build on here at Tele2 Arena in the Allsvenskan.
A good away victory last time out for Hammarby, who won 2-1 against Kalmar (placed 14th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Sirius that ended 0-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Hammarby matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, two draws and zero defeats (from two games).
The manager S. Billborn will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Malmö FF in only three days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Hammarby here at Tele2 Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games). As for guarding their own goal, Hammarby have only let in 2 goals at home.
IFK Göteborg form and stats
Things could have gone better for IFK Göteborg in their Allsvenskan away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
IFK Göteborg's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Helsingborg that finished 1-1. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Djurgården.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Göteborg playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
A quick return to home after this game, as Göteborg are hosting Falkenberg in the Allsvenskan only three days away.
The travelling fans enjoy Göteborg's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. The Göteborg manager P. Asbaghi has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Hammarby, two draws and three wins for IFK Göteborg. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
