BK Häcken have seen success in front of goal leading up to this encounter, having scored 11 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, BK Häcken have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same games.

Their past results show that BK Häcken:

• are unbeaten in their last 3 league matches away from home.

BK Häcken manager Per-Mathias Høgmo has to currently contend with reduced team options. Tobias Carlsson (Unknown Injury) and Bénie Traoré (Fracture of the lower leg) miss out here.

We believe Getingarna will likely play in a 4-3-3 system, settling for Peter Abrahamsson, Valgeir Fridriksson, Johan Hammar, Even Hovland, Kristoffer Lund, M. Rygaard Jensen, Samuel Gustafson, Gustav Berggren, Oscar Uddenäs, Alexander Jeremejeff and Leo Bengtsson.

We feel that over the course of the game, IFK Värnamo will have their work cut out to get anything against this BK Häcken outfit who we think should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We therefore fancy a highly competitive game with a 0-1 victory for BK Häcken at the end of the 90 minutes.

We’ll see what happens.
