IFK Göteborg - Häcken predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Häcken would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

IFK Göteborg supporters expected their team to ease to victory in the previous round of the Allsvenskan. Top bookmakers backed them too at 1.71 betting odds. Nonetheless, the hosts failed to justify the ‘Favourites’ tag. With no lead at the halftime, they were held to a draw at the end as well.

Even though Häcken’s previous Allsvenskan match was a 2:1 victory, their performance against Hammarby was far from perfect. Considering they had both home advantage and a favourable matchup, the fact that they spent most of the match playing from behind is worrisome.

The home team’s previous two Allsvenskan clashes as visitors ended with fewer than 2 goals on the scoreboard. They are at home this time around, but you may still want to stay away from bets like Over 5 Goals.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Häcken’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

It will be interesting to see if Häcken manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with IFK Göteborg this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Wednesday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.67, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
