Kalmar FF vs BK Häcken Prediction & Betting Tips - Allsvenskan

Prediction published on 08/07/2021, 17:31  by Nived in Football Predictions

Kalmar welcome Hacken in their upcoming Allsvenskan clash at the GuldfageIn Arena. After playing nine games each, Kalmar are seventh in the table while Hacken sit just above the relegation zone in thirteenth place. Despite the fact that five points and as many places separate them on the table, both teams are expected to contest a closely-fought affair.

In their most recent outing, Kalmar failed to secure a win after taking the lead. Tashreeq Matthews scored the equaliser for Varbergs BoIS, who did not enjoy a lot of possession during the game. As such, Kalmar will feel hard done by the result, especially since a win could have propelled them as high as third in the table.

Although Hacken have been flirting with relegation since the start of the season. Recent results have worked in their favour. Currently, Hacken are on a two-match winning streak in the league, with their recent win over AIK grabbing the headlines. The fact that they are still just a point above the relegation zone speaks volumes about the magnitude of the task in hand. Hacken must ensure they string together a few good results starting with the game against Kalmar, if they are to steer further away towards safety.

Over the years, Kalmar have slightly edged this fixture with 12 wins compared to 10 for Hacken. However, events from the past are unlikely to prove significant when the teams renew hostilities this time around.
