Hammarby will host Varnamo at the 3Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Allsvenskan campaign. The home side have enjoyed a strong start to their season and will fancy themselves as early title contenders as they sit second in the league table with 30 points from 14 matches.
They picked up a comfortable 2-0 home win over Halmstad in their last match, with team captain Nahir Besara opening the scoring at the half-hour mark before Sebastian Tounekti doubled their advantage with a brilliant strike in the second half.
Varnamo, on the other hand, have endured a poor start to their season and set to battle relegation for a second consecutive campaign. They played out a goalless draw against Elfsborg last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game, but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Trending
The visitors, who are winless this season, sit at the bottom of the league table with just four points from 13 matches. They are nine points away from safety and will be keen to cut the gap this weekend.
