Häcken vs IF Elfsborg Prediction: Second half show expected from both sides

Elfsborg hope to end their road struggle when they travel to the Bravida Arena to battle Häcken. Elfsborg have lost their last six away games and are without a win in their previous four league visit to this venue. Can they break the jinx here? Below are previews, injury reports, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Häcken recorded a 2-1 win over Vasteras in their last game. Matteo Ahlinvi gave his side the lead just 4 minutes into the game before Ali Youssef (32nd minute) and Zeidane Inoussa (84th minute) gave Häcken a comeback win. The win is the second in a row for the Wasps. At home, they are unbeaten in their last four games. They sit 4th on the table with 23 points in 14 games, scoring 26 goals and conceding 23. However, Sigge Jansson (head injury), Srdjan Hrstic (Illness), J. Barrett Laursen (hamstring), Isak Brusberg (groin injury) and Nikola Zecevic (unknown) are all out of this clash.

Elfsborg recorded a 3-0 win over Brommapojkarna in their last game with goals from Simon Hedlund, Michael Baidoo, and Eggert Aron Gudmundsson. After their league win, they are one step away from moving to the next round of the Europa League qualification after recording a 3-0 1st leg win over Paphos at the Bravida Arena. However, there are still much to do for the Elegants. They have lost their last six games away from home. Oscar Hiljemark’s men sit 7th on the table with 19 points in 14 games, scoring 24 and conceding 20.

Hacken - Andreas Linde, V.L. Fridrikson, Even Hovland, Marius Lode, Adam Lundquist, Mikkel Rygaard, Simon Gustafson, Amane Romeo, Amor Layouni, Ali Youseff, Zeidane Inoussa.

Elfsborg - Isak Petterson, Tery Yegbe, Gustav Henrikson, Sebastien Holmen, Niklas hult, Besfort Zeneli, Timothy Noor Ouma, Simon Hedlund, Ahmed Qasem, Michael Baidoo, Arber Zeneli.

Elfsborg’s performance away from home has been a cause for alarm for the team. However, Hacken have always been desperate in search of points in the league. With this, I will side with the hosts to win this clash as the Yellow Ones continue their road struggle. Moreover, Elfsborg have not won their last four league matches at this venue. However, I expect both sides to find the back of the net.
