Häcken - Sirius predictions

The online bookies marked Häcken as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Sirius winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Sirius is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

Häcken played away in the previous round, and their supporters can only be happy with the strong second-half performance. They were deemed favourites before kick-off but admittedly needed some time to get into gear. Once they started pulling ahead, though, they ended up recording a 1:3 win.

Sirius’s previous Allsvenskan match saw them play top of their game. They were considered somewhat weaker than their opponents Malmö FF, so the lead in the first half was unexpected. Sirius then proceeded to decisively win the match 5:1.

Häcken have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

Sirius may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Last season, the hosts met Sirius and walked away with a remarkable, convincing victory. They’re still considered strong favourites because of this, though it’s worth keeping in mind that some time has passed since then.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 3.92, but the betting value makes it interesting.
