Elfsborg vs Hammarby Prediction & Betting tips
The 2018 World Cup is over, so we can turn our attention back to club football. While the big leagues are still in the middle of preparation, they are already playing hard in Scandinavia. So also in Sweden, where in the Allsvenskan – the highest Swedish league – on Monday (16.07., 18:00 clock) the game Elfsborg – Hammarby will be held. While the hosts are still looking at the table cellar, Hammarby is trying to stay in touch with current leaders AIK Stockholm. The omens seem clear, but obviously they are not. For the bookmakers expect the betting odds to follow a largely balanced game with slight advantages for the hosts. And indeed, the shape of the teams and the direct duels of the past speak for Elfsborg. It is noticeable, however, that in the direct clashes have both teams regularly met, which also applies to the last games of the current season. So for Elsborg – Hammarby I recommend a bet on Both to Score bets. These are offered by William Hill to highest odds of 1.62 and played by me with careful two units.
Elfsborg:
The Idrottsföreningen Elfsborg finished last season in the gray midfield in eighth place. Thus, the team of coach Jimmy Thelin had nothing to do with the international business or the descent. This looks different in the current season so far. Because after the twelfth matchday, the champion from the year 2012 with a record of four wins, three draws and five defeats and fifteen points only in eleventh place. The lead on the first relegation place is currently only five points, but was last expanded with a series of three wins in a row.
It is striking that Elfsborg at least the teams in the table cellar seems grown. Because of the last opponents are both the IFK Gothenburg (12th, 1: 1), Dalkurd (15th, 4: 1) and Trelleborgs (13th, 2: 1) in the table behind the Thelin-Elf. Elfsborg has been struggling against the better placed teams so far. Against BK Häcken (8th) it put so in mid-May a fierce 0: 5-clap. There was a small rematch already during the short World Cup break in which Häcken was defeated as part of a friendly match 2-1. In the last league match a week ago, it was enough against Örebro (7) to a deserved 2-1 victory.
Hammarby:
The Hammarby Idrottsförening stood one place worse than the upcoming opponent at the end of last season (9th). Thus, the team of coach Stefan Billborn established after the resurgence in 2015 finally in the highest Swedish league. This year, the master from the year 2001 seems to have targeted the international business. Because after the twelfth matchday Hammarby is with a record of eight wins, two draws and two defeats in second place, which would qualify for participation in the qualification for the Europa League. In particular, the offensive is so far from talk, because more than twenty-six goals in the current season, no other team.
Most recently, the Billborn-Elf but had to accept some setbacks. After two wins against Örebro (7, 2: 1) and Malmö FF (10, 3: 2), there was only one draw against Kalmar (6, 1: 1). Against the current league leaders AIK Stockholm there was the first defeat in the current season in the top game of the ninth matchday. However, Hammarby had to surrender to the league only after the eleventh and so far last game day, where it against Östersund FK (5th, 1: 2), the second defeat of the season, even though the game shares and odds were evenly distributed. Both against Stockholm and Östersund would have earned a draw.
