IFK Goteborg vs Hacken
Sweden – Allsvenskan
Date: Saturday, 28 April 2018
Kick-Off at 15:00 UK
Venue: Gamla Ullevi (Goteborg).
Hacken held the table-toppers Hammarby in last weekend’s Allsvenskan derby to make it three straight games without a loss in the competition. They will have a nice opportunity to extend such run on Saturday against the likes of IFK Goteborg, but can they clinch the third win of the campaign at Gamla Ullevi?
The team led by Andreas Alm struggled to create in the final third on travels so far in the campaign. They actually failed to score at all in three away fixtures this season (losses to Djurgarden in Svenska Cupen and Brommapojkarna in the league and the goalless draw at Sirius ten days ago.
On the other side, IFK Goteborg showed much better displays in matches in front of the home crowd which makes us reconsider the away win pick, priced at 2.40.
Furthermore, Hacken only won 1 of 16 away matches against IFK Goteborg.
Anglarna were generally the dominant force in the history of head to head meetings with Hacken, leading the H2H tie by ten wins ahead of 32nd clash.
Six of last eight head to head contests offered three or more goals.
Home win or draw looks good at 1.60 knowing that Getingarna are yet to score on the road this season. On the other hand, they did find two goals against the likes of Hammarby six days ago, and given that six of last eight head to head games between these two sides produced at least three goals, we are tempted to back the high-scoring contest at the 2.00 odds.
Braver tipsters can even try and look for the value backing the home win at 2.90 knowing that IFK Goteborg won five and drew one of last six home matches against Hacken. As for potential goalscorers, the value goes with Mix Diskerud who has found the net twice this season already. You can back the American midfielder to score anytime at the sky-high 4.50 odds.
IFK Goteborg or Draw Double Chance @ 1.60
Over 2.5 Goals FT @ 2.00
