GAIS are going well
GAIS will take a lot of confidence into their Gothenburg derby with BK Hacken on Sunday after winning three and drawing two of their previous five Allsvenskan games. Fredrik Holmberg has overseen a remarkable rise up the table for the club from the second city of Sweden, who now occupy seventh place with 18 points from 12 games while the hosts are eighth with 15 points. The BK Hacken vs GAIS prediction is also looking closer than many might expect, given these performances.
GAIS’s last two league matches have seen them win 3-0 away at IFK Norrkoping and draw 0-0 at home with Halmstads BK, results which have kept them in the European race. GAIS have been in particularly good form on the road recently, winning two and drawing four of their seven away league trips.
BK Hacken’s last three Allsvenskan games have resulted in a home win over IFK Vaernamo, a draw away at Djurgarden and a heavy defeat at home to Malmo FF. For more context, our BK Hacken vs GAIS odds suggest it could be a competitive fixture as both clubs have been inconsistent lately.
Holmberg’s men are hard to break down
Under Holmberg, GAIS have become a structured and pragmatic side that sits deep, keeps a compact shape and can be a problem on the counter-attack. The Swedes are not a possession-based side and press only when the time is right, which has made them hard to beat recently.
Hacken, by contrast, are all about possession, pressing and getting men forward in numbers with a fluid frontline that has caused plenty of problems for Allsvenskan 2025.
Samuel Leach Holm has been Hacken’s most reliable source of goals in Allsvenskan 2025 with four in 12 appearances, but his four in the last six have been crucial. GAIS also have a red-hot marksman in Ibrahim Diabate, who has scored nine league goals in 12 appearances and bagged six of his total in the past five games. This BK Hacken vs GAIS preview suggests fans could be in for an intriguing tactical battle.
Hacken are overpriced
The bookmakers are fully expecting BK Hacken to win this game at 1.21, which looks crazy when you consider GAIS have lost only once away this season and won the previous two head-to-head meetings. Holmberg’s team are 13.00 outsiders for this game and a 5.00 draw must also be a bit of a snag at the prices, given how close these clubs are in the table and how the visitors have been playing.
Backing both teams to score does look good here, however, given Hacken’s defensive issues and GAIS’s recent discipline. Holmberg’s side average 1.29 goals for and 0.86 against per away league game this season and that looks about right for a low-scoring affair in which the visitors can frustrate the hosts enough to earn a point. For punters seeking value, the BK Hacken vs GAIS betting tips currently suggest focusing on low-scoring markets, with the BK Hacken vs GAIS prediction highlighting the possibility of a draw.
