Häcken - Västerås SK predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

Västerås SK will have little to hope for in this match. 4.49 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Häcken are coming on the back of a disappointing 2:2 draw in the previous round. Most fans hoped they managed to overcome the home field disadvantage after a solid first-half performance at Värnamo , but the lead melted away as the game progressed.

Västerås SK are coming on the back of a 1:1 away draw in the previous round against IFK Göteborg. The score was even at half-time and remained so until the final whistle. Västerås SK were clear underdogs in that matchup, though, so they’re happier with the outcome than their opponents.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Häcken clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Västerås SK, but it was a rather narrow victory.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday.

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 1.42 odds offered at Betway.
