Mjallby vs Hacken Prediction: League leader to maintain its spot

The league leader will travel this weekend to face mid-table Mjallby, who defeated AIK the previous weekend. In the Allsvenskan match that will take place at Strandvallen on Sunday, the home team Mjallby AIF will compete against the away club BK Hacken.

Last Saturday, Mjallby was challenged by the prospect of making a difficult trip to AIK, a team that has been doing really well, for a match that ended up being extremely close and tense throughout. Despite the game being close during the second half, Mjallby was able to capture all three points against an AIK team that has performed admirably so far this season. Mjällby AIF has preserved a clean sheet in only a few of their most recent games. In point of fact, Mjallby AIF has failed to keep their opponents from scoring in 5 of their most recent 6 matches, allowing 7 goals to be scored against them in the process. The only thing left to do is wait and see if that sequence will be repeated here.

In the previous six matches that BK Hacken participated in, there were a total of 23 goals scored, which resulted in an average of 3.83 goals scored per game on average. This is evidence that they were involved in games that were productive. Their rivals have scored 9 of those goals against them. According to their history in the league, BK Hacken have not been successful against Mjallby AIF when they have faced off against each other on the road in the two most recent league matches. They have not been defeated in any of their most recent six league matches played away from home.

Take a look at the last several games between these two teams and their recent outcomes, and you'll see plenty of goals scored from both sides of the field. Both teams have scored in three of Mjallby's last five matches and five of Hacken's last six matches, so it is easy to see why we are taking that trend into account when making our prediction for Sunday's matchup between these two clubs. The last five of these clubs' six head-to-head encounters have resulted in both teams finding the back of the net. 

• Away win for 1.95
• Both teams to score – Yes for 1.77
• Over 2.5 goals for 1.94
