Sunday brings us further action from the Swedish top flight and our next fixture features a clash between Hammarby and Falkenberg as the betting tips continue at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm.
Hammarby Prediction – Can Hammarby bounce back?
After being handed recent back-to-back defeats away at 2nd placed AIK and 5th placed Hacken respectively, Hammarby will be keen to return home.
2-0 losses in each of these two away matches have left Hammarby 8 points adrift of 3rd placed Djurgarden, but a win on Sunday night would be welcome.
A win on Sunday night against lowly Falkenberg would see them reduce the deficit to just 5 points, and form at home has been impressive this season.
Hammarby still remain unbeaten on home turf at their Tele2 Arena, as the hosts possess a strong looking record of 4-2-0 14/5.
Draws with Kalmar 1-1 and a 2-2 draw with Norrkoping have been either side of an excellent 4-match winning streak.
Wins against AFC Eskilstuna 3-1, Djurgarden 2-1, Sirius 2-0 and Ostersunds 4-0 have made the hosts a formidable force in their own backyard.
Just 4 defeats from their last 21 matches at home in the Allsvenskan further underlines Hammarby’s strength at home in the Swedish top flight.
Falkenberg Prediction – Can Falkenberg continue revival?
Although they occupy a second from bottom position in the Swedish top flight and one of the automatic relegation spots, Falkenberg have staged a recovery in recent weeks.
After a miserable run of 9 matches without a win which included no fewer than 7 defeats, the visitors have picked up a few valuable points since then.
Back-to-back draws with Helsingborg 1-1 and Kalmar 0-0 have been followed up with a much needed 2-1 home win against Elfsborg.
Despite this recent upturn in results, Falkenberg still remain in the bottom two of the Allsvenskan but they’re now just 3 points adrift of Helsingborg and safety.
However, the visitors face a very difficult trip to face an unbeaten Hammarby in their own surroundings, with Falkenberg still yet to record an away win this term.
A poor away record of 0-2-4 7/13 emphasises why Falkenberg find themselves in their current predicament, and have now gone 15 matches without a win on the road.
Key-Facts – Hammarby v Falkenberg
- Hammarby still remain unbeaten at home in this season’s Allsvenskan
- Hammarby have lost just 4 of their last 21 matches on home soil
- Falkenberg have lost 12 of their last 15 away matches in the Allsvenskan
Betting Tips Verdict
Despite recent defeats away from home, Hammarby will be confident they can bounce back here with a convincing win against a poor-travelling Falkenberg outfit.
