Hammarby vs Trelleborgs Prediction & Betting tips
Hammarby and Trelleborgs meet at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm in search of a place in the semifinals of the Svenska Cupen.
The reality is that they are two teams that are separated by an abyss of quality and potential. Hammarby is a leading team in Allsvenskan -this year they even played the previous Uefa Europa League-, while Trelleborgs suffered last season theirs to maintain the category in Superettan -the second category of the country-, even going so far as to have to dispute the playoff for salvation.
The normal thing would be for Hammarby to endorse him a harsh corrective, as it already happened in the semifinal between Hacken -Allsvenskan- and Vasteras -Superettan- in which he won the first by 3 goals to 0.
However, there is a factor that can be decisive, and that is that this meeting, which should have been played weeks ago, had to be postponed due to an outbreak of Covid infections in the green-and-white team. The same sports director of Hammarby acknowledged this week that he is concerned about the physical condition of the team after the outbreak. 16 Hammarby players tested positive for Covid-19 shortly after the derby win against AIK in the decisive group stage match of the Swedish Cup.
“As of Tuesday, we had almost everyone in their place again. We have had to move very carefully and there have been very tired bodies and legs.” declared the sports director -Jesper Jansson-, in an interview in which he also acknowledged that “They had not had the best preparations.”
Regarding the purely sporting aspect, Hammarby is a clearly offensive team, but that also concedes a lot behind. In fact, the last match in which he left his door to 0 was on August 27 of last year, in the Europa League preview against Puskas Academy – since then he has played 10 official matches at home, fitting in all of them. Their offensive potential is also impeccable, last year they finished the local tournament with 47 goals in favor – and 47 against – in 30 games, so, together with their undoubted superiority, it should not be a problem for them to score.
Trelleborgs approached disaster last season, even having to play a playoff stay. They have reached these quarterfinals after beating Orebro -Allsvenskan- 1-0; draw 1-1 with Sirius -Allsvenskan-; and beat Lodde 3-1 -lower divisions-. It is not that they are a particularly scoring team -33 goals last season in the league-, but this being a one-game tie and with the handicap that exists against their rival, I think they can see the goal.
It could even benefit us if the game was quite uneven and Hammarby loosened, making it easier for Trelleborgs to see the door, which I think is where the difficulty of the forecast lies, in the away goal.
