Häcken - AIK predictions

Though we can call Häcken the favourites in this matchup, AIK are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

From the present perspective, the situation is evident. Considering the strength of Häcken and the fact that AIK are given 3.43 odds to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a remarkable surprise.

Häcken conceded early and never quite managed to get back into the game last time out in the Allsvenskan. It was an away match they were never going to win, if 2.89 betting odds were to be believed, so a narrow loss might even be something their fans should not be too disappointed with.

AIK played against IFK Göteborg in the previous round on home grounds, with top online bookmakers pricing their victory at 3.77. The scores were still tied at the 45-minute mark, but AIK went on to score several goals in the second half and decisively win.

With 7 concessions over the last 3 matches, Häcken will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Results and standings notwithstanding, AIK have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Allsvenskan. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Allsvenskan season, the hosts already recorded a victory over AIK. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Sunday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet may seem somewhat risky, but it’s a lot more probable than usual. It’s a great pick if the betting value is what you’re after, but some might prefer a somewhat safer choice.
