GAIS - Häcken predictions

With the 1.78 being what they are, we don’t expect anything other than a home win. Pulling off anything else would be a gargantuan task for Häcken, so we’d stay away unless you’re looking for a long shot on purpose.

At 4.00 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Häcken are well aware of it themselves.

The 0:2 humiliation GAIS recorded last round was only made worse by the fact that they were playing in front of their home supporters at the Gamla Ullevi. Most observers gave them a good shot at winning before kick-off, but they were struggling to pull ahead in the first half and completely dropped the ball in the latter stages of the game.

Online bookmakers expected Häcken’s previous away game to be a close call, with relatively long odds on both sides. However, they quickly earned a lead and carried it forward to a $RESULT victory – an excellent result considering the home-field disadvantage.

We’ve seen GAIS and their attacking lineup perform admirably over their latest 3 away games by scoring more than 5 times. They’re the home team this time around – but that should merely serve to push them further.

With 10 goals in Häcken’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, and the last time they clashed with Häcken things went their way. In fact, they snagged a decisive victory with an advantage of more than two goals.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.60 odds offered at 888Sport.
