Hammarby set to move to the top of the Allsvenskan

Hammarby set to move to the top of the Allsvenskan

On Monday night, Elfsborg host title-chasing Hammarby in the Swedish Allsvenskan, as the visitors look to move to the top of the table.

Elfsborg are currently 12th place in the Swedish top-flight, just two places above the relegation play-off spot. However, their recent league form has been strong, as the home side are now unbeaten in four games, having recorded three consecutive wins.

Jimmy Thelin’s team have also been prolific in front of goal of late, scoring at least two goals in their last three league outings. The home side’s form in front of goal has contributed heavily to there being over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five games.

Elfsborg’s recent home form has been poor, as they have won just one of their last seven league games on home soil. However, they are unbeaten in four home games in the Swedish top-flight. Drawing games has been a significant problem for Elfsborg with four of their last seven games finishing all square.

Hammarby heads into this clash second in the Swedish top-flight table, but just one point behind leaders AIK. However, the visitor’s league position does not tell a true tale of their recent form, as their form has dipped in recent games.

In fact, the visitors have now failed to win in their last three games, suffering two defeats in the process. They have produced some entertaining fare for their fans, though, as 13 of their previous 15 Allsvenskan games have produced over 2.5 goals.

Stefan Billborn’s team have a strong recent away record in the Swedish top-flight. They are unbeaten in the last six away games, having recorded four wins and two draws.

The key to their recent good form on the road has been their efforts in front of goal, as the visitors have scored at least two goals in five of their last six away games in the league

Forebet predicts that Hammarby will record a victory in a low scoring game, which would move the visitors to the top of the table.
