Hammarby about the derby against AIK
When Viaplay Saga expert Fredriksson visited the Sportbladet podcast “Femme plus” on Tuesday, she was asked if there was anything to suggest that Hammarby Not You will win big on AIK.
– I don’t believe in that. There is no indication that AIK will advance before this match except that it is a derby, Fredrickson says and continues:
– Right now I don’t think you see a glint in poor AIK. I say “poor” because I struggle with them somewhere, it feels like resignation about the team.
Hammarby players are more cautious than the expert.
– I’ve played quite a few derbies and I know there are games where there is an extra buzz and it’s a battle on the pitch. So it’s important to be 110% accurate and be ready from the start, says Elaine Gibson.

Adelina Engman and Madeline Ganouji are on the same path as Gibson.
“It didn’t go well for AIK, but the derby is always a derby, so it looks like it’s going to be tough,” Engman says.
