IFK Göteborg - Hammarby predictions

IFK Göteborg have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Hammarby. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

From the present perspective, the situation is evident. Considering the strength of IFK Göteborg and the fact that Hammarby are given 2.57 odds to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a remarkable surprise.

The hosts will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways following their last round’s disappointment. They suffered a dreadful Elfsborg away defeat without ever getting close to salvaging anything from the game. Having conceded early on in the game, things went from bad to worse for IFK Göteborg.

Hammarby are here on the back of rather poor performance in their previous Allsvenskan game. The odds seemed stacked in their favour with both home-field advantage and 4.36 betting odds for their victory. Despite all of this, however, the game ended up being a protracted stalemate, ending in an HT/FT 0:0 draw.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Allsvenskan matches, Hammarby boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

Hammarby lost their home game to IFK Göteborg earlier in the season, which was quite an upset at the time. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, though, and will be looking to redeem themselves.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.67 at Betway.
