Brommapojkarna take on the visitors Hammarby in the round 16 match pf Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Friday, July 21st at Grimsta IP (Stockholm).
Brommapojkarna come into this match against Hammarby with a streak of four consecutive losses in the championship. In June, the team suffered a defeat away from home against the upcoming opponent (1-2). In July, they lost all three league matches: to Hacken away (2-4), and at home against AIK (0-2) and Degerfors (1-2). It's safe to say that Ulf Melberg's team is currently not in their best form and is experiencing one of the worst periods of the current season. In this capital derby, it's doubtful that Brommapojkarna can rely on a victory, especially considering that they have only managed to secure two wins in seven home matches in the league.

On the contrary, Hammarby are gradually improving and has already overtaken their opponent in the table, although they have played one more match. The positive results cannot be ignored. After defeating Brommapojkarna (2-1), the team lost away to the current league leaders, Elfsborg, which is not surprising. However, they bounced back with victories against Sirius (2-1) and Kalmar (3-1). As a result, in the last ten league matches, Hammarby has suffered only two defeats and is more than capable of securing at least a draw in this capital derby against a struggling opponent.
Considering the current form of both teams, I choose the X2 option for the first part of the bet. Even the home advantage hasn't been helpful to Brommapojkarna lately, as they suffered three defeats in their last three home matches in the league. On the other hand, Hammarby has lost only once in their last five away matches in the championship. Moreover, in their head-to-head meetings, Hammarby has consistently come out on top against Brommapojkarna. For the second part of the bet, I select Over 1.5 goals, which has occurred in 13 out of 15 matches involving Brommapojkarna as the hosts and in 14 out of 16 matches involving them as the away team in the current Allsvenskan season.
Prediction for the match: Hammarby not to lose and Over 1.5 scored goals.
