Although there was a point against fellow Helsingborg in the last round, it cost a lot. As many as 6 players received a yellow card and 4 of these had already accumulated a number, which means that they are suspended in the next match, against Hammarby. Perhaps the biggest problem for Warbergs will be that two players from the defence have been suspended, Stanisic and Birkfeld will not be able to help their friends in this very difficult game for the home team. Varbergs has managed to play well against the worse teams, even if it was only one point against the worst in the series last time. But against the better teams, nothing has progressed at all. Against Malmo, Elfsborg and Djurgarden, 11 goals have been conceded in total. Hammarby has a good starting position in the title hunt and is highly active in the fight. Especially when the shape is absolutely top-notch. Behind them, they have two straight 3-0 victories on home turf over Goteborg first and last Elfsborg. Gustav Ludwigson netted in both meetings. Most recently against Elfsborg, Saidi opened the scoring after 8 minutes. Gustav Ludwigson extended the lead just before the break and settled the final score with a quarter of an hour left in the game. He is in brilliant form, with 6 goals in total in the Allsvenskan. The chance is huge that he will once again end up on the scoresheet against an injured Varberg, without two of his best defenders.

My prediction;

Outcome: Hammarby to win
