Hammarby will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 16 points behind Malmö FF.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Malmö FF's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Malmö FF have performed like this: Played 13 matches resulting in 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats with the goal stats 19-16 (scored/conceded).

Happy, happy days for Malmö who are already winners of the Allsvenskan. This could affect their motivation.

Hammarby form and stats

When playing at home in the Allsvenskan, Hammarby have managed 4 wins, 8 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 13 games. The Hammarby fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Tele2 Arena and will expect new points from this game. Hammarby has played eleven games in a row here without a defeat.

Hammarby are returning here after visiting Gute in a Svenska Cupen game and winning with a 5-0 scoreline. A. Amoo (2), G. Ludwigson, J. Andersen and D. Widgren scored the goal(s). A Allsvenskan defeat was the result before that one, 2-5 away at Varberg.

As mentioned above, Hammarby "killed" Gute in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hammarby have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost zero.

The Hammarby fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 21 goals in 13 league matches. On the other hand, Hammarby have conceded 15 goals.

Malmö FF form and stats

6 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Malmö FF, who have the most scored goals (56) in Allsvenskan, playing as the away team in the Allsvenskan this season.

Malmö have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Marko Johansson. It's been 247 minutes since they last conceded in Allsvenskan.

The supporters enjoyed Malmö's previous game versus Sirius (placed 9th), a Allsvenskan 4-0 win played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Helsingborg.

As mentioned above, Malmö FF was the only team on the pitch versus Sirius in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Malmö FF in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Malmö, one draw and zero defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Malmö manager J. Dahl Tomasson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Lund.

The Malmö FF manager J. Dahl Tomasson has got the team scoring on the road, with 26 away goals in 13 league matches. 16 goals have been conceded by Malmö FF in these games.
