Hammarby vs IFK Goteborg Predictions

• Hammarby have won five of their six home games this season
• Goteborg are on a run of five defeats in eight in the league
• Hammarby have kept back-to-back clean sheets

Hammarby hoping to continue strong home form

The Tele2 Arena has been a happy hunting ground for Hammarby this season, with their five wins in six outings including defeats of AIK and Sirius, who are above Goteborg in the table.

Indeed, the hosts home results have been so good that they head into the weekend in fifth place in the table, only four points off the European places.

They will be confident of extending that run, and have a strong chance of doing so to nil, given they have kept back-to-back clean sheet sheets against Djurgarden (3-0) and GAIS (0-0).

Goteborg have to find some wins soon

That might send a shiver down the spine of their opponents, who have been beaten in five of their last eight outings and head to the Tele2 Arena in relegation table.

Results away from home have been of a particular concern, as they are four without a win on the road, a streak that includes losses against GAIS, AIK and Varnamo.

They also have a miserable record in head-to-heads, with Hammarby unbeaten in the last nine competitive meetings, dating back to 2020.

I predict that Hammarby will win this game to nil, with 2-0 to the hosts my correct score prediction.
