Hammarby Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the UEFA Europa Conference League tournament (home team - RKS Rakow Czestochowa, away team - Hammarby). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:0.

At home, Hammarby are almost unbeatable: they have gone undefeated in 16 of their last 17 matches and have scored in 18 consecutive league games.

The only injury concern for Rydström is Suru Koné, who has been nursing a knee problem since mid-May.

Hacken Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Allsvenskan tournament (home team - Hacken, away - Kalmar). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:1.
Here are the match stats (Hacken vs Kalmar):
- ball possession: 52% vs 48%;
- corner kicks: 5 vs 6;
- fouls: 17 vs 13;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 0;
- shots on target: 1 vs 6.
Häcken, under Jens Gustafsson, are in the chasing pack but keep dropping points: in the last round the visitors drew at home with Kalmar (1:1), despite Kalmar having lost all six of their away matches this season.
The injury list is also a problem. Filip Eman is out for months after shoulder surgery, Ben Engdahl is recovering from injury, and goalkeeper Etrit Berisha is still training separately. That said, Häcken have not lost heavily in 21 matches. But the key thing is their attacking consistency: the visitors have scored in 14 of their last 15 Allsvenskan matches, including seven consecutive away games.

Editor's Pick
Away from home, Häcken have lost by no more than one goal in 15 of their last 16 Allsvenskan matches. And Hammarby don't tend to run riot against this opponent: in 12 of their last 13 head-to-head meetings, they scored no more than two goals.
In our view, the hosts will get what they came for: they are stronger at home, and they have reason to make up for the May defeat. But with three matches in eight days and the return leg against Rakow on the horizon, Rydström is unlikely to have much more in reserve. The bet is Häcken to win with handicap +1.5. Predicted score: 2:1.
