Hammarby vs IFK Norrkoping FK
Failure to achieve maximum results last week held back Hammarby’s ambition to rise to the top. They will try to get there using a home match against IFK Norrkoping. Two teams met on match day 11 of the Swedish League at the Tele2 Arena.
A week earlier Hammarby appeared as an IFK Gothenburg guest and closed the visit with a score of glasses. To complete their disappointment, Nikola Durdic also received a red card just before dispersal. As a result, the player is ensured to miss the match tomorrow.
IFK Norrkoping received a contrasting result at the time with a 2-0 win against GIF Sundsvall. The tactics applied by the host proved to be more effective with 7 shots on target even though they only controlled 37% of the possession, while the visitors only released 2 kicks.
Thanks to these results, IFK Norrkoping also enjoyed a second victory this month after only receiving a draw and losing in the opening two matches. The momentum will be used against Hammarby’s record which won four consecutive wins before the record stopped last week.
For now the IFK Norrkoping is still stuck at number 8 with a score of 14 points, lining up two numbers under Hammarby with a collection of 18 points. The hosts will try to win so that they can match the number of runners-up IFK Gothenburg while maintaining tradition at the Tele2 Arena after winning 3-2 and 2-1 on the last two occasions to host IFK Norrkoping.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 1.20
