HACKEN v GIF SUNDSVALL
Monday 14th August 2017 – Kickoff: 1900hrs
Football – Sweden – Allsvenskan Betting Tips
Continuing with the Scandinavian theme, my next pick features seventh placed Hacken playing host to third from bottom club, GIF Sundsvall, at their Bravida Arena, as the hosts look to take all three points to stay in touch with the top three clubs in the Swedish Allsvenskan.
Hacken are currently enjoying a four-match unbeaten spell in the Swedish top flight as they’ve gained wins over Jonkopings and Hammarby, both away from home, along with points taken at Sirius and at home to Orebro in 2-2 and 1-1 draws respectively.
Although they’ve suffered recent defeats to Ostersunds and Malmo, these results are no disgrace as both of these opposing teams have shown solid form throughout this season, but Hacken will be looking to improve a home record that currently sits at an inconsistent looking 3-3-3 12/8 this evening.
Visitors GIF Sundsvall held Ostersunds to a 1-1 draw last time out at their Norrporten Arena which would have been considered a solid point for the hosts, but they now face a tough trip to Hacken on Monday night as they look to break a four-match run without a win on their travels.
Sundsvall have registered just one league win from their last nine matches overall, which was a 1-0 home win over fellow strugglers, Halmstad, but three defeats from their last four on the road could spell further trouble ahead in Gothenborg this evening.
Sundsvall possess an average looking away record of 1-4-4 6/12 and defeats at Kalmar 3-0, Ostersunds 3-1 and Djurgarden 2-1 have done little to aid their cause. Another defeat here would see them remain in the relegation play-off spot.
