The league table in Allsvenskan tells a story about these teams so far, with Häcken leading Falkenberg by 19 points. Match preview to follow:
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Häcken form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Prioritet Serneke Arena as Häcken, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) at home in Allsvenskan, have scored 20 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Allsvenskan are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Häcken lost their last game at Malmö FF (placed 1st) after a 0-3 scoreline. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Elfsborg the opponent.
The Häcken manager A. Alm has got the team scoring with 20 from 10 home games in the league. Häcken are not conceding a lot of goals here at Prioritet Serneke Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 10 matches.
Falkenberg form and stats
There's been little loot from Falkenberg's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 11 away games in the Allsvenskan. Falkenberg, who have the most conceded goals (38) in Allsvenskan, only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. Bitter travels for Falkenberg as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Hammarby match.
Falkenberg failed to get anything from their last game, a Allsvenskan home match vs Hammarby (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 1-3. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Sirius's place.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Falkenberg have scored 13 goals in 11 league games away. Falkenberg's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
