St. Polten have lost all five games they have played in the tournament so far, conceding 18 goals and scoring just three. They are winless in their last four games (three losses) and are unsurprisingly the underdogs despite playing in front of their fans.

Hammarby have also been eliminated from the running for qualification to the knockout rounds but have a shot at guaranteeing a respectable third spot in what is their tournament debut.

Manchester City and Barcelona's quality meant both sides were all but guaranteed to advance as the top two, leaving these two sides to battle it out for third spot. That has proven to be the case, with Hammarby's sole points coming in the reverse fixture. We are backing Martin Sjogren's side to make it a double win over St. Polten with a narrow victory.
