Warm-up is in full swing for the starting eleven
The match will be played in the Johanneshov district in Stockholm and a large crowd is expected. Many supporters also come from Värnamo and some already arrived on Saturday.
Before the away match against Hammarby, who is coached by Värnamo’s former coach Kim Hellberg, the team has only one win in six rounds and four recorded points. The victory came against IF Sirius, 1–0, in round four.
The team is in 15th place, second last in the table, and only one point better than twin company Västerås.
There are a lot of changes compared to the last match against Halmstad.
To begin with, the formation changes from a 4–3–3 to a classic 4–4–2. Three out of four backs are replaced, only Victor Larsson remains. In the midfield Viktor Bergh comes in and in the offensive Johnbosco Samuel Kalu steps in.
Simon Thern is missing from the squad for this match.
