BK Hacken vs GIF Sundsvall Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Only 3 points separate these sides in the Swedish top flight, which properly resumes on Saturday after over a month off. This is one of four games on Saturday to have been moved to different kick-off times, with Sweden as gripped as England by the small matter of a World Cup Quarter-Final taking place in Russia on the same day.

There was one midweek game though which signalled the resumption of action in the Swedish top flight and it featured GIF Sundsvall. They were easy 3-1 winners away to rock bottom Sirius so they should travel with confidence here and victory could see them rise as high as 4th.

The hosts are the clear favourites though with the bookies. They haven’t played competitively since May but they did win a friendly last weekend against fellow Allsvenskan side Dalkurd. They will be a little disappointed with how they’ve started this campaign having finished 4th last year. They head to Latvia for a Europa League tie this week so it really is a key part of the season that they are now moving into.

This is a match that is likely to produce a decent amount of goalmouth action. Hacken have been pretty good going forward in front of their own fans, scoring 2.4 goals per game on average on their own patch. They are yet to fail to score at home this season in the Allsvenskan and 60% of their home matches have produced over 2.5 goals in total.

As for the visitors, they’ve also tended to be involved in open games, particularly on their travels. 75% of their away games have produced over 2.5 goals in total and they have both scored and conceded 2 goals per game on average away from home. They will come here with belief following that win in midweek and their natural tendency to attack suggests this game should be very open indeed.

Given that, backing Over 2.5 Goals looks to offer value.

The visitors also look a little bit long here with the bookies. They’ve been competitive in all their away games, not losing any by more than a single goal and they are higher up than Hacken in the division. Nearly halfway through the campaign, that has to count for something and backing GIF Sundsvall +1.0 Asian Handicap could be worth a flutter.
