Matchday three of the Swedish Allsvenskan campaign concludes on Monday, with title-contender Elfsborg aiming to maintain their unbeaten streak as they visit Hammarby at the Tele2 Arena.
HIF had a mediocre season in the Swedish top-flight last year, finishing seventh, but they will now aim for a higher position on the table after refreshing their squad with several new additions during the transfer window. On the opening day of their Allsvenskan campaign, Hammarby, with Swedish football icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic as one of the owners, thrilled their supporters by cruising to a brilliant 3-1 victory over Kalmar. However, their opening win was soon forgotten as they slumped to a 0-2 defeat against the reigning champions Malmo in their second match.
Hellberg's HIF continues to be haunted by a tough early-season schedule, as they face yet another stern test, locking horns with an Elfsborg side that incredibly missed out on becoming national champions last season for the first time since 2012. Despite entering the closing round of the previous term as table-toppers, Di Gule suffered a heart-wrenching 0-1 loss in a direct title clash against Malmo, relinquishing the crown solely on goal difference. The bitter memory of the title slipping through their fingers is still fresh, yet Jimmy Thelin's determined squad has made a decent start to their new assault on the Allsvenskan crown, picking up four points from their first two challenges with a 2-2 draw against Varberg and a narrow 1-0 victory over newcomers Vasteras.
Hammarby vs Elfsborg Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)
Despite last season's Allsvenskan runners-up facing an incredibly tough test on matchday 3 at the Tele2 Arena, a place they've left with nothing to show and scoreless in three straight visits, we believe the hot title contender Elfsborg can manage at least a draw. Hammarby is notoriously difficult to beat on their own backyard, as confirmed by just two losses in 15 home fixtures last campaign, along with eight wins and five stalemates. However, it's hard to say that everything looks rosy and bright at HIF's home, as their opening sharp 3-1 victory over Kalmar represents only their first registered success in the past six Allsvenskan home battles.
On the flip side, Elfsborg has stood out as a very good traveler of late, leaving enemy territory with max points in four of the last five Swedish top-flight trips, conceding just once in the process. The nasty clash with Hammarby coming up is a real opportunity for Jimmy Thelin and co to test their mettle and send a strong message to everyone, especially defending champions Malmo, that they mean serious business in their pursuit of the Allsvenskan crown this term. Ultimately, we expect Elfsborg to do what it takes to claim the points in Monday's visit and bounce back from their three consecutive losses in the Swedish capital.

Hammarby team news
Despite being an unused substitute in the impressive 3-1 victory against Kalmar on the opening day of the new Allsvenskan season, Hammarby's defender Anton Kralj found himself sidelined for matchday two, casting a cloud of uncertainty over Monday's showdown.
Manager Kim Hellberg will also be unable to enlist the services of Llinares Barragan Marc, who is yet to make his debut minutes in the new Swedish top-flight season after suffering an injury in the preseason.
Furthermore, the new acquisition Frederik Winther, arriving from Bundesliga outfit Augsburg, seems destined for an extended spell on the sidelines, at least eight months out until the end of the season, following a severe knee injury in the closing stages of the match against Malmo.

Elfsborg team news
As for last year's Allsvenskan runner-up, Elfsborg doesn't have many injury concerns, but they still won't have the services of Per Frick, who is expected to return to action in 2-3 weeks after missing the opening two matches.
The seasoned striker Simon Hedlund also finds himself on the absentee list, having been withdrawn just seven minutes after scoring against Varnamo on opening day due to an apparent injury, but fortunately, it's not a serious setback, and he should return soon.
