Hammarby impressed their supporters with a commanding 3-1 victory over Kalmar on the opening day of their Allsvenskan campaign. However, they faced disappointment in their second match as they were defeated 0-2 by reigning champions Malmo. Hammarby's defender Anton Kralj, who was an unused substitute in the win over Kalmar, was sidelined for matchday two, raising uncertainty for their upcoming clash. Additionally, Llinares Barragan Marc, who has yet to make his debut this season due to a preseason injury, will also miss the upcoming match. The situation is compounded by the unfortunate injury to new signing Frederik Winther following a severe knee injury sustained during the match against Malmo.
Elfsborg
Elfsborg have started the season with a solid performance, picking up four points from their first two games. They played out a 2-2 draw against Varberg and secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Vasteras in their most recent match. With the win, they have their unbeaten streak extends to five games.
Unfortunately, Elfsborg are missing key players like Per Frick, who is expected to return to action in 3 weeks after sitting out the opening matches due to injury. Additionally, Simon Hedlund suffered a minor injury shortly after scoring against Varnamo in the season opener, but it's not considered serious, and he should be back in action soon.
Possible Starting 11
Hammarby — Oliver Dovin, Edvin Kurtulus, Mads Fenger, Pavle Vagic, Shaquille Pinas, Oscar Johansson, Fredrik Hammar, Nahir Besara, Hampus Skoglund, Jusef Erabi, Deniz Gül.
Elfsborg – Marcus Bundgaard, Johan Larsson, Sebastian Holmen, Terry Yegbe, Niklas Hult, Noah Söderberg, Jens Jakob Thomasen, Michael Baidoo, Ahmed Qasem, Jalal Abdulai, Arber Zeneli.
Expert Betting Tips
Elfsborg have struggled in recent visits to the Tele2 Arena, failing to score in their last three trips. However, they have excelled as an away team overall, securing maximum points in four out of their last five Swedish top-flight away matches and conceding just one goal in the process. Based on this trend, I believe Elfsborg will at least secure a draw in this match, with the game likely to be low-scoring with minimal goals.
