Malmö vs Hammarby Prediction and Betting Tips | 1st October 2022

Malmö will host Hammarby at Eleda Stadion in Allsvenskan action on Saturday.

Malmö vs Hammarby Preview

The defending champions are not in a comfortable position in the standings as the campaign enters its final lap. Malmo sit fourth on 40 points – eight adrift of the leaders Djurgarden. Every remaining game must be won, says coach Age Hareide. But that might not even be enough to defend their title if others win as well.

Di blåe will be facing one of the strongest sides of the campaign on Saturday. Hammarby finished fifth last season and they now sit just above Malmo with two more points. The meeting will be the main attraction of matchday 24. The hosts look cocky as they head into the clash on the back of two successive wins.

The visitors are eager to return to winning ways after two back-to-back stalemates that robbed them of four vital points. They could lose their third spot in the event of a further setback. Hammarby are also within striking distance of the summit, trailing the leaders by six points. A lot is at stake as they travel to Malmo for the clash.

The two sides are facing injury problems and it is unclear how the situation will affect their performances. Bajen will be without three key players, including center-back and captain Richárd Magyar - sidelined with a foot injury. Malmo have reported injuries to three players, including attacking midfielder Adi Nalic.
