BK Häcken

LWLDWL

BK Häcken will be hoping to bounce back here following the 2-0 Allsvenskan defeat in their last game at the hands of IK Sirius.

In that match, BK Häcken managed 64% possession and 17 attempts on goal with 9 on target. IK Sirius got 11 shots at goal with 6 on target. Robbie Ure (23') and Leo Walta (82') scored for IK Sirius.

It has not been often in recent times where BK Häcken have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that BK Häcken have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 12 goals along the way. That kind of trend might not be carried forward into this next game, though.

Leading up to this clash, BK Häcken:

• have not been beaten in the league by AIK in their previous 6 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 3 league games.

AIK

DWWWDW 📈

AIK come into this clash following on from a 2-1 Allsvenskan win over Mjällby AIF in their last match.

In that game, AIK managed 40% possession and 12 shots at goal with 6 on target. For AIK, goals were scored by Victor Andersson (23') and Anton Salétros (61'). At the other end, Mjallby AIF got 14 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Elliot Stroud (10') scored for Mjällby AIF.

A succession of reliable showings by the AIK defence has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their past 6 fixtures combined. In that period, their own attack force has managed to score 8.

Their past results show that AIK:

• are winless against BK Häcken when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 matches in the league. Not good.
• are undefeated in their previous 4 away league matches.

↔️ Head to head

An examination of past results between these clubs stretching back to 02/04/2022 shows that these fixtures have been a source of anguish for AIK. They’ve not managed to get themselves any victories whatsoever while BK Häcken have remained in the ascendancy, getting wins in 100% of those ties.

21 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 16 of them from Getingarna and 5 coming from Gnaget. The average number of goals per game works out to 3.5.

The previous league encounter between these clubs was Allsvenskan match day 26 on 06/10/2024 which ended up with the score at AIK 0-2 BK Häcken.

The referee was Richard Sundell.

ℹ️ Team News: BK Häcken

Andreas Linde (unknown injury) and Brice Wembangomo (Hamstring injury) will not be able to play for BK Häcken manager Jens Gustafsson.

In all likelihood, Getingarna will probably opt for a 4-3-3 formation this time and select Etrit Berisha, Filip Ohman, Nikola Zecevic, Marius Lode, Ben Engdahl, Mikkel Rygaard, Samuel Leach Holm, Simon Gustafson, Amor Layouni, Srdjan Hrstic and Julius Lindberg.

ℹ️ Team News: AIK

Due to a mostly full-strength group of players, there’s just the one fitness problem for the AIK manager Mikkjal Thomassen to be concerned with. Martin Ellingsen (unknown injury) won’t be in action.

We reckon that Gnaget appear most likely to make use of a 4-3-1-2 system with a starting lineup of Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Mads Thychosen, B. Tiedemann Hansen, S. Papagiannopoulos, Thomas Isherwood, Johan Hove, Anton Saletros, Dino Besirovic, Bersant Celina, Victor Andersson and Andronikos Kakoullis.

💭 Prediction

We envisage that AIK and BK Häcken should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. Therefore, we predict a hard-fought 1-1 score draw at the conclusion of the game.
