Hacken's current form has been impressive, especially in the league. They recently secured a 3-1 victory over Elfsborg in their most recent league match, which has contributed to their position as the third-ranked team in the table. With 38 points from 18 games, Hacken have exhibited a strong offensive performance, netting 45 goals, while their defense has conceded 20 goals.

It's worth mentioning that Hacken's squad has undergone a change, as Benie Traore has left the team to join Sheffield United during the summer transfer window. His absence could impact the team's dynamics and strategies in the upcoming clash.

Varbergs' recent performance has shown some signs of improvement, but overall, their outcomes have been mostly disappointing. In their most recent match, they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Mjallby, which has contributed to their current position at the bottom of the standings in 16th place. With only 11 points from 18 games played, Varbergs have managed to score 16 goals while conceding 33.

The team are undoubtedly motivated to secure points in order to climb out of the bottom position and avoid relegation. They currently trail Sirius, the team occupying the position of safety, by 6 points. This match could be crucial for Varbergs' chances of improving their league standing and avoiding the relegation zone.
