BK Hacken vs KI Klasksvik Predictions

• KI have yet to concede across their first three Champions League games this term
• The hosts played a top-of-the-table league game on Sunday, playing the majority with just 10 men
• The visitors’ will push for defensive mistakes and can punish any European inexperience in the Hacken side

Quick turnaround for Hacken

This Champions League double header came at an inopportune time for Hacken, with the hosts playing a vital game in the Swedish title race in between. They were 3-1 winners over Elfsborg at the weekend, closing the gap between the pair to just one point.

While that was a boost for the hosts, they had to play over half of that tricky fixture with 10 men, which leaves them in a tough spot for their return clash with KI. These two sides drew 0-0 a week ago and the Faroe Islanders head into this one looking to make things tough for Hacken.

Visitors on fine run

KI are unbeaten in their last 14 games, coming through the first round of qualifying with a surprise win over Ferencvaros. They were able to draw the first leg of that clash 0-0 at home too, before producing a 3-0 win on the road.

KI needed just 25% possession in that second leg after taking an early lead and they held firm across 180 minutes to produce a victory in that tie. The visitors pounced on defensive mistakes in that victory and their high-energy style may cause problems for a Hacken side who are coming off the back of such a huge game.

While the hosts are favourites, KI head into this clash having won seven straight trips and they’ve got a fine defensive record in that run. The hosts are playing just their first Champions League campaign, while KI made it through this round last term.
