Hammarby and Degerfors battle for three points in a Swedish Allsvenskan round 11 clash on Monday at 3Arena.
The hosts will be keen to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat to Mjallby at the same venue in midweek. They went behind to Ludwig Thorell's 21st-minute strike before Montander Madjed equalised just before the break. Alexander Johansson scored the winner for Mjallby 20 minutes into the second half.
Degerfors, meanwhile, fell to a 3-1 home defeat to Goteborg. They were three goals down at the break, with Tobias Heintz breaking the deadlock in the sixth minute before completing his brace in the 32nd minute after Max Fenger had made it 2-0 three minutes after the opener.
The loss left Bruke in eighth spot in the standings, with 13 points from 10 games, while Hammarby are fourth with 21 points.
