Björn’s boys have the bite to take the win
Our Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF prediction sees the hosts as clear favourites here at 1.49 with Degerfors IF listed as long shots at 7.5 and the Draw at 4.9 could have some appeal. But it seems more likely that the hosts can take all three points when they face off against a Degerfors side that has been out of sorts of late.
Hammarby have a slightly mixed form of two wins, two draws and one loss from their last five, but those two most recent games saw them get a 0-0 draw away to AIK before a disappointing 1-2 home loss to Mjaellby. So, there is still plenty to work on at Tele2 Arena even though the hosts have been very solid there with four wins, one draw and one defeat from six games.
Kim Hellberg has been Hammarby head coach since the start of the season and his fluid 4-3-3 formation has brought an attacking impetus to the team. The home team play with tempo and can control the ball well, but they also press high up the field to get at opponents. This Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF preview sets up an exciting contest between two sides with differing approaches.
Degerfors can be frustrating to play against
William Lundin has managed Degerfors IF since January 2024 and has made the team into a much more disciplined and pragmatic side. They are more compact in a 4-4-2 formation and usually set up to block and look to take chances on the counter.
The two clubs last met in a 2-2 draw in the Allsvenskan 2023 and this Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF prediction points out that this fixture has never been a happy hunting ground for Degerfors IF, who have never won away at Hammarby IF. So that must give Hammarby a mental edge and we are expecting a clash between the pro-active hosts and pragmatic visitors to be a tactical chess match.
Hammarby’s Nahir Besara has the class to edge this clash
Nahir Besara has been in blistering form for Hammarby, scoring five times in 11 appearances in the league this season. He has three of Hammarby’s eight goals in their last-five games and his ability to score goals and create chances is a big reason why the home side are in fourth place in the table with 21 points from 11 games.
Omar Faraj has been on fire for Degerfors, netting five times in six Allsvenskan 2025 appearances, but Marcus Rafferty has chipped in with three of Degerfors’ last six goals in their previous five games.
Degerfors have had a disappointing run of one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five games. They did well to come from behind to win 2-1 away to IFK Norrköping on their penultimate away game, but were brought back to earth with a bump when they were beaten 1-3 at home by IFK Göteborg. Degerfors are in eighth spot with 13 points from their first 10 games, which is a fair reflection of a mid-table campaign so far.
Backing ‘Hammarby to win and over 2.5 total goals’ looks a good fit here given the aggressive way in which the host play and Degerfors have conceded ten goals in five away Allsvenskan 2025 fixtures – an average of 2.00 per game. The Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF betting tips also indicate that a high-scoring encounter is to be expected based on the teams' recent form.
To sum up, this Hammarby IF vs Degerfors IF prediction suggests that the hosts have the upper hand, but Degerfors’ resilience could ensure an entertaining match.
