Häcken’s high-tempo attack should prove too hot for Uppsala
Team form and standings
BK Häcken (W) are the heavy favorites here at 1.11 and the stats back that up. In the current Damallsvenskan 2026 standings, Häcken sit second on 27 points from 10 games played, leaving them firmly in the title race. In contrast, IK Uppsala (W) have had a dismal start to the season and find themselves in 14th place with just 6 points from 10 matches.
IK Uppsala's new head coach, Hanna Spets, was appointed to head the team for the 2026 season with a focus on improving the organisation and compactness of her young squad as they battle for top-flight survival. Uppsala have failed to win any of their last 5, although they have drawn 1 of these games – at home to AIK – compared to Häcken's run of 4 wins from their last 5, including back-to-back wins away at Hammarby IF (1-0) and at home to FC Rosengård (2-0).
Tactics
These clubs met in Damallsvenskan 2023 with Häcken taking the win 3-1 at home and this fixture could provide another test of IK Uppsala's ability to stand up to the top teams in the league. Uppsala typically line up in a 3-5-2 formation, which they will likely change to a back four in order to add a defensive screen to their midfield five. They rely on midfielders to cover the width and do not provide much in terms of width, instead relying on quick transitions from defence to attack.
BK Häcken (W) are a high-tempo 4-2-3-1 side with an aggressive press and a style of play based around width and vertical passes in behind the opponent's back four. Elena Sadiku's side have notched up 3 consecutive wins going into this clash and this is likely to be another test of their title credentials.
Players to watch
- Aelvali Lindström leads their scoring with 4 goals in 10 games in this season's Damallsvenskan and has been a good influence on the team recently.
- Häcken's Felicia Schröder is their leading scorer with 7 in 9 league games this season and she has scored 4 of the team's last 9 goals.
- She is a constant threat as the spearhead of Häcken's attack and is expected to contribute at least once on Wednesday.
- Saga Fredgren has chipped in with 2 goals in Uppsala's recent 5-game run, accounting for a third of their total goals in that span.
Prediction
Given Häcken's hot streak and the sheer volume of goals they score on the road, we're confident that they will take the game away from the home side and claim a victory. Uppsala are unbeaten at home this league season, with 1 win and 3 draws from 4 matches, while Häcken have picked up 2 wins from their last 3 away games.
A Häcken win is a good option for the main bet as the away side has conceded just 0.8 goals per away match in the Damallsvenskan 2026 and scores an average of 1.8 goals in that period. The clash of Häcken's relentless pressing and Uppsala's compact, pragmatic style will likely result in the home team sitting deep and looking to counterattack, but we feel that Häcken's form and firepower should see them take a comfortable win.
