Häcken form and stats
Häcken have played three Allsvenskan home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With Häcken having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager A. Alm.
