Let's look at this absorbing match in the Allsvenskan. Häcken is in the 2nd place from participating in two fixtures. They greet IFK Göteborg who are placed 4th from two fixtures.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
