Match Preview
Häcken hosts Halmstad at Bravida Arena on Sunday, 13 July, in a crucial Allsvenskan clash. Häcken enters the match with a mixed bag of form, having secured two wins in their last five outings, while Halmstad struggles, managing just one point from their last five matches. Historically, Häcken has dominated this fixture, winning six of the last ten encounters, which could bolster their confidence heading into this game.
One key angle to consider is Häcken's attacking prowess, which has seen them score over 2.5 goals in six of their last ten meetings with Halmstad. Given Halmstad's defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in recent weeks, it’s reasonable to expect Häcken to exploit these weaknesses. The odds of 1.73 for Häcken to win and 1.75 for over 2.5 goals suggest that bookmakers anticipate a high-scoring affair. With both teams needing points for different reasons, this match promises to be engaging, but Häcken's home advantage and superior form make them the likely favourites to secure all three points.
