An intriguing encounter awaits us in the Swedish top flight on Monday evening, when Malmö play host to Hammarby. The two sides are separated by ten points, with the visitors in second place and the home team in fourth — the latter being a big surprise. The bookies are giving Malmö a 55% chance of winning, but Hellberg’s side will be feeling confident given their current form and the fact that they avoided defeat in each of the last two meetings between the two teams.

The two sides have already met once this year, with Malmö losing 2:0 away in April. Despite this defeat, the Blue Ones have a strong record in the last ten head-to-head meetings as they secured four victories. Hammarby won just two fixtures, while four games ended in a draw. The average number of goals per game was 2.6.
Malmö FF team overview
Malmö are the most successful club in Sweden, boasting 15 Allsvenskan titles, including four of the last five. Di blåe won last year's title with an 11-point lead over second-place Hammarby but have struggled to live up to expectations this season.
Anes Mravac’s side have won only two of their last seven league games and suffered Europa League defeats at the hands of Ludogorets and Viktoria Plzeň during that period.
Having also won only once in their last six home games, there is plenty of uncertainty and low confidence within the squad ahead of Monday’s match against Hammarby.
Lasse Berg Johansen and Daníel Gudjohnsen will be available for selection after missing the European clash with Dinamo Zagreb due to suspensions. Johan Dahlin and Gentian Lajqi are ruled out with cruciate ligament issues, as is Erik Botheim with a leg fracture.

Hammarby team overview
Meanwhile, Hammarby are on course to finish second for the third consecutive Allsvenskan campaign. With just three games left to play, the Södermalm team are 11 points behind the leaders, Mjallby.
This means they can no longer win the Allsvenskan title for the first time in over 20 years this season but One more win is needed to finish second and boss Kim Hellberg will hope it happens on Monday.
The visitors come into this game on the back of two consecutive wins, having beaten the likes of Göteborg and AIK. There are no injuries or suspensions in the squad, so Hellberg could field the same team that started against AIK last Sunday.

Prediction
Hammarby are the fresher of the two sides, having had no European action in midweek, and their current form — three wins in their last four league games — gives them reason to be optimistic. However, it is difficult to envisage them securing a victory against Malmö at the Eleda Stadium, where they have not won in 15 matches. I am therefore expecting an entertaining game that could end in a 2–2 draw.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Nine of the last eleven meetings between Malmo and Hammarby at this ground ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in nine of the last ten games of Hammarby.
- Four of the last six games of Malmo produced three or more goals.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
