Hammarby to Win-to-Nil
Hammarby have an excellent recent record against Varberg winning five of the pair's last six encounters in all competitions and have kept a clean sheet in three of those victories.

Hammarby have won three of their last six competitive and non-competitive matches, keeping clean sheets in each of their last three outings.
Over 1.5 Hammarby Goals
We're backing Hammarby to score at least two goals on Monday night, just as they have done in four of their last six meetings with Varberg. The hosts have conceded at least two goals in three of their last five league games and Hammarby have scored two or more goals in four of their last six matches, including a 2-1 friendly win over Oster last month, adding further weight to our prediction.
