Next, we take a trip over to Sweden to take a look ahead to two fixtures in the Allsvenskan; our second preview is a clash between Hacken and Hammarby as the betting tips continue at the Bravida Arena with the hosts looking to break into the top three.
Hacken Prediction- Can Hacken close gap on top three?
Hacken sit in 5th place in the Swedish top flight and find themselves just 3 points adrift of 3rd placed Djurgarden ahead of Monday night’s action in the Allsvenskan.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 7 matches overall in the domestic top flight, Hacken look fairly well set to add to their points tally in this encounter.
The host’s only defeat during this 7-match sequence was a 2-1 defeat at home to 4th placed Goteborg, but overall form at home has been solid.
The home side possess a fairly reliable record on home turf at their Bravida Arena which has seen them lose just twice amidst an overall record of 4-0-2 8/4.
Wins over Helsingborg, AFC Eskilstuna, GIF Sundsvall and Kalmar should give the hosts plenty of impetus heading into this clash.
In addition, Hacken have been a tough and stubborn opponent for Hammarby as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 6 encounters at home against the visitors.
Strike-pair, Jeremejeff and Paulinho (5 goals apiece) look to be Hacken’s most dangerous goal threats.
Hammarby Prediction – Can Hammarby bounce back?
The visitors were handed a 2-0 defeat last time out in the Swedish Allsvenskan which ended their sequence of 6 league matches without defeat.
This recent loss was away at 2nd placed AIK and they have another tough challenge lined up when they hit the road again to face Hacken on Monday night.
Nevertheless, Hammarby will take heart from their 6-match run without defeat which included 4 wins and 2 draws which had placed them in the top half of the division.
Wins against Djurgarden, Orebro, Sirius and Ostersunds along with points picked up in draws with Goteborg and Norrkoping should still give them confidence on their travels here.
However, with just 1 away win out of their last 7 matches overall on the road in the Swedish top flight, the visitors may find life tough going at Hacken.
An away record of 1-2-3 6/11 so far this season may hold the visitors back in this clash, along with the fact that they’ve failed to beat Hacken in their last 6 visits to the Bravida Arena.
