Djurgardens IF
- Djurgardens IF have won four and lost one of their last five games across all competitions.
- Jani Honkavaara’s Djurgardens IF play with a back four and like to press high up the pitch in a high-intensity style.
- His appointment in January 2025 has made Djurgardens IF more aggressive in the pressing department, while they are much faster in transition and can catch teams off guard with their direct, forward-focused style.
Hammarby IF
- Hammarby IF have won three, drawn one, and lost one of their last five fixtures.
- Hammarby’s style under Kalle Karlsson has been possession-based and focused on wide areas since his appointment in January 2026.
- Karlsson has set the team up with a back three and two wing-backs, who provide the width for the team to overload the wings and create attacks in a controlled manner.
Head-to-Head
The last two meetings between the sides were a Hammarby IF win (1-0) and a draw (3-3) in Allsvenskan 2025 so the hosts will be motivated to get one over their arch-rivals on Sunday.
Key Players
- Kristian Lien is the Blue and Yellow’s biggest goal threat with two goals in three Allsvenskan 2026 matches, but he is being well supplied by playmaker Oskar Fallenius who has two assists in the same number of games.
- On the bench, Bo Aasulv Hegland has been in red-hot form and has four of the club’s last 10 goals.
- Paulos Abraham is Hammarby’s goal threat with four goals in three league games and six in the last five.
- Nahir Besara is the creative hub of Karlsson’s side with four assists in three games in Allsvenskan 2026.
