On July 7th at 22:30, Göteborg welcomes Hammarby to Valhalla for round 13 of the Swedish Allsvenskan.
Göteborg, promoted from the Superettan after finishing as runners-up in the 2023 season, should be happy with their start to the season. After 12 matches, they sit in 5th place with 21 points, just ahead of their opponents Hammarby on goal difference and even above the likes of Häcken and Elfsborg. Their home form has been excellent, with five consecutive victories turning Valhalla into a fortress.
After a five-week break, Göteborg will be looking to bounce back from their 0-4 defeat to Halmstad on June 1st. They have played two friendlies during this time, drawing with Halmstad and defeating Danish second-division side Vendsyssel. In terms of personnel, Göteborg will be without Albanian defender Binaku, who has been out since suffering a knee injury in March. Joining Binaku on the sidelines is 24-year-old striker Freddie, who will continue his long-term absence due to a cruciate ligament injury. Cooper-Love scored against Vendsyssel and is expected to lead the line alongside Lundgren and Budre.
Hammarby, who sit above Göteborg on goal difference, played two friendlies during the break, failing to win either. They lost 1-3 to Brommapojkarna and drew 2-2 with Västerås. It’s worth noting that Hammarby are on a three-game winning streak in the league, defeating the likes of Solna, Sirius, and Djurgården, since their heavy defeat to Mjällby in mid-May. Helgberg’s side will be hoping to continue their good form, but their away record is not as impressive – just two wins, four defeats, and no draws in their last six away games.
In terms of personnel, Hammarby will be without Danish midfielder Winter, who has been out since suffering an injury in the match against Malmö in April. There is no news on his return. 33-year-old striker Besara has been in fine form this season, scoring five goals and providing five assists in the first 12 matches, and he will be looking to make a significant impact.
This match will be the first time Göteborg and Hammarby have faced each other since February 2018. In fact, Göteborg have only lost one of their last ten meetings against Hammarby. The matches between these two teams have often produced goals, so we can expect a thrilling encounter.
