Hammarby – Malmoe

In Stockholm, the opponents will score at least three goals.

The central clash of the next Allsvenskan matchday will take place in Stockholm. Malmö, the most titled football club in Sweden, will come here. After the failure in the previous season, the sky-blue team were considered by bookmakers as favorites for the new championship before its opening round. Even then such calculations seemed mistaken, because after finishing sixth in the last season Malmö did not take any notable steps to prevent a repetition of such a scenario. At the start of 2026, Miguel Ángel Ramírez was appointed to the coaching post, who in his relatively brief career has coached on four continents and has not stayed long anywhere. Malmö have lost several players, both young and experienced, and in their place were brought in players who still have yet to reveal their potential. As a result, Malmö's current seventh place looks, if not a natural consequence of the described events, then quite logical. Representatives of Allsvenskan clubs and journalists before the season did not share the bookmakers' view of the favorite for the new season. At the annual preseason meeting they determined by a majority that it is Hammarby that has a better chance of the title than anyone else. At the same time, the season's start for the Stockholm-based side was also far from ideal. Despite their current second place, Hammarby is clearly unsettled by Sirius' winning run, which in seven rounds has earned 19 points from 21 possible. Bookmakers have made the home team favorites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.60 on their victory. By the eighth round of the championship, Hammarby trailed Sirius by five points. This situation motivates the Stockholm-based side to fight for victories against any opponents. Nevertheless, Hammarby have won only four of the seven Allsvenskan matches played. Meanwhile the home side's attack is firing on all cylinders. Only in one league match, specifically against Sirius, did it fail to score at least one goal. Malmö, despite the clearly poor start to the season, continues to play open football against strong opponents. All three of the sky-blue team's losses this season ended 2-3. In the upcoming round one should also expect precise finishes.
