Kalle’s Karamba are on the up
Kalle Karlsson has brought a more structured possession-based game to Hammarby IF since his appointment as head coach in January 2026 and they are on a 2-game winning run after their convincing 3-0 home win over Vaesteraas SK was followed up by a 1-0 away win at IFK Goeteborg. In this period, this Hammarby IF vs Malmo FF preview is further highlighted by the fact that Karlsson has been able to build a strong rhythm and his team has taken to pressing selectively in the right areas of the pitch.
Malmo FF’s Miguel Angel Ramirez has a completely different approach to the game and his side are a free-flowing team that plays on the edge, pressing the life out of opponents and looking to attack quickly in the transitions. This has led to lots of goals being scored in their games, but also exposed a vulnerability to conceding goals in recent weeks as they have gone down 3-2 at Haecken and 3-2 at home to Mjaellby.
Visitors can nick it in a goal-fest

Gustav Ludwigson is the focal point of Hammarby’s attacking play and has been the driving force behind their combination play in the midfield while linking up with the forwards. Malmo FF have in-form Sead Haksabanovic in the same role and the Bosnian has been a constant threat to goal and a provider for his teammates, 3 goals and 3 assists in the last 5 games.
The recent head-to-head between these sides is split evenly with 2 wins each and 1 draw but Hammarby has the momentum from the last encounter in which they beat Malmo 3-1 away in Allsvenskan 2025. Abraham is in good form for Hammarby and could be the difference in a similar result on Sunday, albeit at home this time around, with Malmo looking very vulnerable in defence at the moment.
