Halmstad vs Hammarby tips and predictions

Hammarby won't have things all their own way

There's nothing between Halmstad and Hammarby. The two sides reside in tenth place with 6 points in the Allsvenskan so it's all to play for and both sides will fancy their chances.

There's not much up for grabs in the 1X2 odds and the short price for Hammarby has made them unbackable. Halmstad don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors on their toes. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. In their last 3 matches Halmstad have only conceded 0.7 goals. Meanwhile Hammarby have been impressive defensively on the road. These players have only let in an average of 0.5 goals per game over their last 8 matches away from home.

In previous matches in this fixture, the last 4 have all ended in a draw.

Hammarby are the favourites and they will be eager to keep things tight at the back. In that case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet.

Halmstad have drawn 6 of their last 15 matches on their own soil coupled with the fact that Hammarby have drawn 7 of their last 13 matches. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to be wary of. The draw is the play after what will probably be a tightly contested match-up.
