Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF Best odds and tips

Hammarby IF are right up there with the best sides in Sweden at the moment. Kim Hellberg’s attack-minded 4-3-3 system, which has seen Hammarby dominate the ball and press high, has seen his team rack up some big wins and some narrow losses, but rarely have they been outplayed by less ambitious teams. In the last five games in all competitions, Hammarby have won two, drawn two and lost one, but our Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF prediction points out that their last two games were a disappointing 0-0 draw away at AIK and a 1-2 home loss to Mjaellby. At home, they have been in better form, winning one, drawing one and losing one of their past three.

Degerfors IF are another side with a lot of momentum on their side, but their form has dipped a little with a 2-1 away win over IFK Norrkoeping followed by a 1-3 home defeat against IFK Goeteborg in their most recent two games. They have won three of their five away Allsvenskan games, so they are certainly dangerous on their travels. William Lundin took over as manager in January 2024 and his pragmatic, counter-attacking approach has given Degerfors a platform to be a dangerous side. Omar Faraj has been their best finisher with five goals in just six Allsvenskan games, but Marcus Rafferty has chipped in with three of Degerfors’ last six. He is a man to watch for a goal on Monday. This Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF preview highlights the interesting tactical battle expected between Hellberg’s possession tactics and Lundin’s counter-based approach.

These sides drew 2-2 at Degerfors and the Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF prediction suggests this fixture always has the potential to be an end-to-end game. Hammarby have the advantage in their two most recent meetings with one win and one draw, but both teams scored in their 2-2 draw last time out. Hammarby have been better than most at home this season, but Degerfors have won three of their away games and are very good at keeping the game close and looking for their chances in transition. The hosts are 1.49 to win this and take all three points, but Degerfors are 7.5 for the upset and the underdog Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF odds are attractive enough for a small bet. A wager on ‘Both Teams to Score’ could also be a good option as Hammarby have the chance creation stats to back up their favourites tag while Degerfors’ away games have averaged 2.4 goals scored and 2.0 conceded this term, making it a solid Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF betting tips consideration.
