WWDLWL

BK Häcken will be hoping for a better result after a 1-0 Allsvenskan loss in their previous game against Degerfors IF.

It has been seldom in recent games where BK Häcken have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that BK Häcken have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 10 goals during that time. It will be interesting to see whether or not that trend will be sustained into this next match.

Their previous form shows that BK Häcken:

• are winless against Halmstads BK in their last 3 league games.
• are unbeaten in their previous 9 home league matches. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.
