Hammarby are set to host Brommapojkarna at the 3Arena this Sunday in a highly anticipated Swedish Allsvenskan clash. After a disappointing 3-2 defeat to GAIS, Hammarby, who are chasing the league title, will be eager to get back to winning ways. Brommapojkarna, on the other hand, are looking to extend their winning streak and avenge their previous 2-0 loss to Hammarby earlier in the season.
Hammarby's Form and Team News
Hammarby's recent loss ended their impressive five-game winning run. Before that setback, their defence was rock solid, keeping clean sheets in four consecutive league matches. At home, they've been a force to be reckoned with, securing seven wins out of nine games. Currently sitting second in the league standings with 33 points, they've scored 28 goals while conceding only 12. However, they will be missing key players like Dennis Collander (knee injury) and Wilson Lindberg (thigh injury). Shaquille Pinas is likely to fill in, and Liam Tahwildaran remains sidelined with a knee injury.
Brommapojkarna's Resurgence
Brommapojkarna have shown signs of improvement after an inconsistent start to the season. Their recent form suggests they are aiming for a strong second half. Although they started with back-to-back defeats, they are now determined to continue their upward trajectory.
Possible Lineups
Hammarby's potential starting lineup (3-5-2):
- Goalkeeper: Warner Hahn
- Defenders: Pavle Vagic, Victor Eriksson, Frederik Winther
- Midfielders: Hampus Skoglund, Markus Karlsson, Tesfaldet Tekie, Nahir Besara
Prediction
Given Hammarby's strong home record and their desire to bounce back, they are likely to come out strong. However, Brommapojkarna's improved form suggests they won't be an easy opponent. Expect an exciting and closely contested match.
