Hammarby vs Häcken Prediction: Can the Wasps end their winless run here?

Häcken hope to end a 7-game winless run when they travel to the Tele2 Arena on Thursday to face Hammarby. Despite the visitors' poor form, they are unbeaten in their last six games against the host. Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Hammarby were held to a goalless draw in their last game against Elfsborg. Bajen had 62% possession of the ball in the game but couldn’t score any of their four shots. However, they remain unbeaten in their ten games. They sit third on the table with 41 points in 23 games, scoring 38 goals and conceding 21. With seven games remaining in the season, they are 12 points behind top-placed Malmo, but they can move up to second with a win in this game. They are just one point behind second-placed Djurgarden. Meanwhile, Frederik Winther is ruled out of this game due to a knee injury.

Häcken suffered a 4-0 loss to Malmo in their last game. They conceded as early as the 7th minute and could only manage just one shot on target. They lost their last two games and are winless in their last seven. They sit 9th on the table with 33 points in 23 games, scoring 46 goals and conceding 44.

Hammarby — Warner Hahn, Hampus Skoglund, Ibrahima Fofana, Pavle Vagic, Shaquille Pinas, Fredrik Hammar, Tesfaldet Tekie, Montader Madjed, Nahir Besara, Bazoumana Toure, Jusef Erabi.

Häcken — Peter Abrahamsson, Julius Lindberg, Johan Hammar, Even Hovland, Adam Lundqvist, Amane Romeo, Simon Gustafson, Mikkel Rygaard, Jeremy Agbonifo, Ali Youssef, Lars Olden Larsen.

Although Häcken have been unbeaten in their last six games against Hammarby, their recent performance is below par, and no miracle can make them secure a win here. However, they will get a consolation goal in the second half of this game, for which I expect to see lots of goals.
