Häcken form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Allsvenskan for Häcken with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts. Two points from the last two away games for Häcken, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Häcken might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Örebro proved too strong as Häcken slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Bravida Arena. Godswill Ekpolo was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.85. The defender Ekpolo hit four key passes and won 9 of 11 duels. A huge disappointment for Häcken in their last match (vs Örebro). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.

Before that, Häcken travelled to IFK Göteborg and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Häcken as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Häcken have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
