Hammarby hosts Lech Poznan in the quarterfinals of the Europa League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 16th at Tele2 Arena (Stockholm)
Hammarby is quite stable during the season. In the local championship, the team hid under the leaders, taking 6th place and lagging behind the top three by only four points. Probably Hammarby could have been higher in the standings if it plays a little more reliably in defense. But Bajen concedes too much - 28 goals after 20 rounds of the championship. And it keeps afloat due to the aggressive and effective game in the attack. Conceding from almost everyone in a row, it scores in response. Hammarby scored 30 goals in the local championship. In the last round of the Europa League, it upset the goalkeeper of the Hungarian Puskas three times, knocking it out of the tournament.

Lech is one of the leaders of Polish football in the last decade. In this segment, it was left without medals only two times. But the start of the current championship was quite mediocre. Lech has not gained a single victory in the first three rounds. And it managed to score only two points in them. However, the team plays cheerfully and effectively – its goal difference is 6-7. In the last round of the Europa League, Lech knocked out the Latvian club Valmiera from the tournament (3-0).
As you can see, both teams are not eager to defend their nets efficiently, preferring to attack. Both the Swedes and the Poles are quite good at it. This is how they play in their championships, and such a game was in qualification for the European tournament. And I think we will see offensive football in their head-to-head meeting. The Swedes have a quartet of good and quite effective attacking players. Halfback Paulinho scored three goals, and forwards Khalili and Ludwigson have four goals each. American Johannsson scored six goals in 14 matches. The Poles have someone to score. The Swedish forward Mikael Ishak has already scored four goals in three matches. Hammarby played with “Both teams to score – yes” in eight of the last 10 ten matches. Lech also exchanged goals with its counterparts in 8 out of 10 last matches. I think the teams will manage to aggrieve each other’s goalkeepers in this head-to-head meeting.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
