Hammarby v IFK Norrkoping (Allsvenskan)After their patchwork side drew at Halmstads, the Stockholm club will be looking build on that result against bottom placed Norrköping. Goalkeeper Rami Shaaban was carried off in that game and is now set to miss the rest of the season. Kristoffer Björklund will replace him and try to stake his own claim for the number one jersey. The defensive crisis is easing somewhat, with Saarenpää and both Johanssons now back in training. However, of the three, Saarenpää is the most likely to make the game. Macedo returns from suspension and will probably line up alongside youngster Törnstrand, Saarenpää and the now recovered Traore. In the midfield, Chanko will play in the deeper role, allowing Andersson to get forward. Zengin will play on one flank, with either Castro-Tello or Laitinen on the other. Paulino and goal hero Davies will be partnered up front, as they continue to develop an impressive understanding. Hammarby will expect to beat Norrköping, despite missing a few players. They have also not given up on the league title just yet and the fans will expect nothing less than three points.
Norrköping¡¦s makeshift side lost two late goals against Sundsvall, which left them rooted to the bottom of the league. Next up is a trip to Hammarby, where not many sides come away with three points. For this game, Bakiu will be in goals as usual and Arvhage will return from suspension to take his place in the defense. He will be joined by Rönneklev, Magnusson and Roth, who will captain the side, in the midfield, Khalili and Burkhardt are still doubtful, but Blomberg will come back in following a ban. Spong will play in the defensive role and Magro will also play, having himself completed a one match suspension. Out wide, Bamberg has been playing well of late and Dybendal should keep his place on the other side. The lone striker is currently Amuneke, who looked lively against Sundsvall, but new signing Mwafulirwa could come into the reckoning. Norrköping ran away with the Superettan last year, but face a quick return if they don¡¦t start picking up points. They will do well to take anything from their trip to Stockholm, with a point the best they could hope for.
