Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Hudiksvall & Hammarby face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Svenska Cupen. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Hudiksvall nor Hammarby as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hudiksvall form and stats
Hudiksvall have not come this way in the Svenska Cupen without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Gottne IF. Hudiksvall was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the Svenska Cupen.Hudiksvall's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Uppsala.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Gute (0-1).There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hudiksvall as they are travelling to their away game against Karlberg in the Division 2: Norra Svealand. That match is four days after this one.
Hammarby form and stats
Hammarby was sent out of Svenska Cupen in the semi-finals last season.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hammarby so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-6 (win-draw-lose).
Hammarby has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Kalmar for a 0-0 draw. Kralj was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.31. The defender Kralj hit one key pass and won 4 of 7 duels.
A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Elfsborg.The schedule is very tough for Hammarby now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Allsvenskan game at Mjällby is waiting in only four days.
The attacking power of Hammarby when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Hammarby have conceded 18 goals in these games.
