Comparative Team Statistics: Malmo FF vs Hammarby FF

Head-to-head: recent meetings favour Hammarby

The two sides have met plenty of times down the years, and the picture has swung back and forth. But the last two meetings both went Hammarby's way, a 4-1 home win in May and a 3-1 away win at Malmo back in October last year.

Further back there's a string of draws and even a couple of heavy Hammarby wins, so this isn't a fixture Malmo have found easy in recent seasons.

A clear gap in the table

Hammarby sit third with 46 points from 24 games, while Malmo are seventh on 36 points from the same number of matches. Hammarby's goal difference of plus 29 dwarfs Malmo's plus 4, which lines up with everything in their recent form.

Players to watch

Hammarby's attack is carrying real goal threat, with P. Abraham on 14 goals in 22 appearances and V. Lind adding 9 goals plus 11 assists. That's a lot of end product from two players.

Malmo's main man is E. Botheim with 10 goals in 19 matches, and S. Hakšabanović has chipped in 6 assists. On discipline, Malmo's O. Rosengren and K. Busuladžić have both picked up 6 yellow cards this season.

Could this one produce goals at both ends?

Hammarby's defence has been tight away from home, conceding just 13 in 20 matches, so Malmo may find chances hard to come by. But Malmo have still managed 35 goals in their sample, so they're not toothless even if their defensive record (22 conceded) leaves gaps Hammarby could exploit.
