Malmö FF - Hammarby predictions

Malmö FF are seen as favourites to win this match against Hammarby. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Hammarby are given 7.60 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Most online bookmakers expected Malmö FF to win the previous round with ease, and it seems they were right. They were playing as visitors at Norrköping but were largely seen as the stronger team – which they proved to be true with an early lead and a match-long dominance.

Hammarby had a lot going for them as they entered their previous Allsvenskan bout, with both home-field advantage and considerably shorter odds to win than their opponents. As such, the 3:1 HT/FT victory wasn’t much of a surprise, but it will be interesting to see if their form keeps up while playing away.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Malmö FF’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

On Sunday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.40 odds offer a decent return.
