Three points for the home side is anticipated from this fixture if the league standings is to be trusted. The Hammarby followers are hoping that the gulf between 2nd and Sirius's 11th place in the table will be revealed on the playing field.

Insights:
  • Hammarby have the most clean sheets (13) in Allsvenskan
  • Sirius have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Sirius have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-2-7 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.

These are full days for the host team, as they played only four days ago in the Allsvenskan. That game was an away game at Mjällby, so at least Hammarby are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
