The Tele2 Arena in Stockholm hosts a finely poised UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round second leg on Thursday, as Hammarby welcome Rosenborg with the tie locked at 0-0 from the first meeting in Trondheim.
Hammarby will hope home advantage can tip the balance, particularly after showing signs of sharper attacking play in recent outings.

Midfield orchestrator Nahir Besara is expected to be central to their approach, using his vision and passing range to unlock Rosenborg’s defence.
The Norwegian side, however, arrive with a formidable attacking record.
Led by in-form striker Dino Islamović, who has scored eight goals in his last six appearances, Rosenborg have netted 12 times in their previous five matches double Hammarby’s tally over the same period.
With neither side finding the net in the first leg, the return fixture promises a more open affair as both teams push for a place in the play-off round.
Hammarby will look to feed off the energy of their home crowd, but Rosenborg’s cutting edge in front of goal could prove the decisive factor.
