Hammarby Wants to Break GAIS Streak
Hammarby IF has not beaten GAIS since 2013. Now, ahead of the match at 3Arena on Sunday evening, the team wants to break the 11‑year losing streak. Captain Nahir Besara, center‑back Victor Eriksson and right‑back Hampus Skoglund are clearly optimistic.
Strong Statements from the Team
"God – have we ever won since GAIS came up to Allsvenskan again?" asks Besara. He points out that the team has played well recently and has many victories. Eriksson describes GAIS as a skilled team that plays fast and intense football, and he stresses the importance of being strong in duels and taking advantage of chances.
Skoglund says: "We know we are a really good team. As long as we do our job and focus on what we need to do, I think we will come out and play a really good match. But it’s damn sad to have such a 'streak' – we have lost most of the matches we have played against GAIS. We hope to change that."
Results and Table Position
Hammarby currently sits second in the Allsvenskan table after a 4‑0 win over Kalmar. A win against GAIS would reduce the gap to the league leaders Sirius to six points. GAIS is tenth in the table.
