Hammarby FF vs Degerfors IF Prediction & Betting Tips
Hammarby FF vs Degerfors IF Betting Preview
The Allsvenskan returns with a big Matchday 13 fixture in Sweden as Hammarby FF host Degerfors IF at the 3Arena in Stockholm. Kick-off is set for 2026-07-19 at 15:30 UTC, and the market is very clear about the expected direction of this game.
Hammarby are priced at 1.30 to win, the draw is available at 5.75, while Degerfors travel as major outsiders at 10.00. That tells the story before a ball is kicked: this is a strong home favourite against a side that will likely need a disciplined, low-risk performance to stay alive in the match.
NerdyTips’ AI system agrees with the odds. The best selection is Best tip: Hammarby FF to win, rated at 8.8/10 confidence, with odds of 1.30. The predicted final score is 3:0, with Hammarby expected to lead 1:0 at half-time.
Why Hammarby Are Strong Favourites
This fixture has a clear top-versus-bottom feel. Hammarby have been much more reliable over a longer sample, winning 55.8% of their last 86 matches. Degerfors, by comparison, have won 35.4% of their last 79 games.
The recent form makes the home win case even stronger. Hammarby have taken 6 wins from their last 10 matches, averaging 2.0 goals scored per game. They are also producing strong attacking volume, with an average of 18.33 shots and 57.1% possession across that run.
Degerfors have won only 2 of their last 10, scoring 1.2 goals per match and conceding 1.7. Their average possession sits at 47%, with 11 shots per game. Those are not terrible numbers, but against a Hammarby side expected to control the tempo at 3Arena, they may not be enough.
The AI match model projects Hammarby to dominate the ball with 65% possession, while Degerfors are forecast at 35%. Shot volume also heavily favours the home side: 20 total shots for Hammarby compared to 8 for Degerfors, with on-target efforts estimated at 7 to 2.
That type of statistical profile supports the short price on the home win.
1X2 Prediction: Home Win at 1.30
Main betting pick
The 1X2 prediction is 1, meaning Hammarby FF to win. Trust level: 8.8/10. Odds: 1.30.
This is not the kind of price that will attract every bettor, because 1.30 is short. However, short odds can still carry value when the data lines up strongly. Here, it does.
Hammarby’s stronger win percentage, better recent results, higher attacking output, and home advantage all point in the same direction. Degerfors have shown they can compete as underdogs, including a 1:1 away draw against GAIS on 2026-05-16 despite odds of 5.80, but this assignment looks tougher.
The last head-to-head meeting also supports the home angle. On 2025-05-26, Hammarby beat Degerfors 1:0. Hammarby were priced at 1.46 that day, with Degerfors at 6.50. This time, the odds are even more one-sided, which suggests the market sees a wider gap between the teams.
For bettors searching for football betting tips, the cleanest play is clear: Best tip: Hammarby FF to win.
Goals Market: Over 2.5 Goals Has Interest
The predicted under/over bet is over 2.5 goals, with a trust rating of 3.8/10 and odds of 1.53. That lower trust level is important. The selection fits the expected 3:0 scoreline, but it is not rated as strongly as the home win.
Still, there are reasons to keep it on the shortlist. Hammarby have seen over 2.5 goals land in 7 of their last 10 games. Across a wider sample, 57.0% of their matches have gone over 2.5 goals. Degerfors are not far behind, with 51.9% of their recent historical sample clearing the same line.
The Allsvenskan league baseline is more balanced: over 2.5 goals has landed in 47.7% of matches over the last four years, according to NT4.0 data. That means the league itself is not automatically an over-heavy environment, but these two teams trend above that average.
The projected 3:0 result points to Hammarby doing most of the scoring. That also fits the expected on-target shot split of 7 to 2. If the home team converts early, the game could open up and push toward three or more goals.
Match Flow: Hammarby Pressure, Degerfors Resistance
Expected half-time score: 1:0
The predicted half-time score is 1:0 for Hammarby, which suggests a controlled start rather than a wild opening. That makes sense given the possession forecast. Hammarby should have long spells on the ball, building attacks and forcing Degerfors into a deeper defensive shape.
The corner projection also tells a useful story. Total corners are forecast at 11, with 7 for Hammarby and 4 for Degerfors. That points toward steady home pressure, wide attacking phases, blocked shots, and repeated entries into the final third.
Discipline could become an issue for the visitors. The yellow card forecast is 1 for Hammarby and 4 for Degerfors. If Degerfors spend long periods without the ball, they may be forced into tactical fouls, especially when Hammarby transition quickly or overload wide areas.
For live betting, this could matter. If Hammarby dominate possession early but do not score inside the first 20 minutes, corners, cards, and home team pressure markets may become interesting. Still, the pre-match value remains centred on the home win.
How League Trends Support the Prediction
Over the last four years in the Allsvenskan, home teams have won 39.4% of matches, while away teams have won 30.3%. Draws also sit at 30.3%. That shows Sweden’s top division is not completely home-dominated, but home advantage still matters.
Both teams have scored in 47.2% of league games, while over 1.5 goals has landed in 70.3%. Over 3.5 goals has occurred in 25.7%, so while high-scoring games happen, they are not the standard outcome.
For this match, the AI leans toward Hammarby winning with a clean sheet. That is an interesting contrast with Degerfors’ broader BTTS rate of 60.8%. Normally, Degerfors matches often produce goals at both ends, but the projected 65%-35% possession split and 7-2 on-target shot forecast suggest they may struggle to create enough quality chances here.
Hammarby’s BTTS rate is lower at 44.2%, which fits better with the 3:0 prediction. In simple terms: Hammarby often have enough attacking strength to win, but not every game becomes an end-to-end exchange.

Final Betting Verdict
Everything points toward Hammarby FF being the right side. The odds are short, but the trust rating is high, and the match projections back the favourite in several key areas: possession, shots, shots on target, corners, recent form, and long-term win rate.
Degerfors have enough resilience to make parts of the game uncomfortable, and their draw at GAIS as heavy underdogs is a reminder that no Allsvenskan match should be treated as guaranteed. But to take something from 3Arena, they likely need a very efficient defensive display and clinical finishing from limited chances.
The expected final score of 3:0 gives additional support to Hammarby on the 1X2 market and keeps over 2.5 goals in play, though with lower confidence.
Best tip: Hammarby FF to win at 1.30

Half-time prediction: Hammarby FF 1:0 Degerfors IF
Secondary angle: Over 2.5 goals at 1.53, but with lower trust
