Hammarby - Västerås SK predictions

With the 1.74 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Västerås SK, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

The odds are stacked heavily against Västerås SK here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Hammarby are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.52.

Despite the favourable matchup, Hammarby failed to grab any points in their previous Allsvenskan bout. They spent the entire match playing from behind, too, eventually recording a 2:1 away defeat.

The previous round of the Allsvenskan saw Västerås SK win 2:1 in a favourable home matchup against Mjällby. That said, the pre-match betting odds for them to win were 4.59, so the fact that the game was a relatively close call is somewhat surprising.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Tele2 Arena this Monday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

This match may offer a solid opportunity for an Under 5 Goals bet purely because Västerås SK are playing as the visiting team. The last two such instances both ended up confirming the market – they even featured fewer than 5 goals, in fact.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Monday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.95. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
