A good game is in the offing on Sunday
BK Hacken head into Sunday’s Allsvenskan clash with Halmstads BK as favourites with the bookies at 1.55, with the visitors at 6.00. It’s 1.55 for the hosts, so we’re taking that as our main bet here, but there’s a lot to like about this BK Hacken vs Halmstads BK preview for a variety of reasons.
Both of these teams have played some excellent football in patches this campaign and both have been guilty of poor showings in others, so there’s no real justification for the large gap in the BK Hacken vs Halmstads BK odds. In the table, our BK Hacken vs Halmstads BK prediction is slightly justified as Hacken sit 9th with 18 points from 14 games, two points ahead of Halmstads BK in 11th with 16 from their 14 games played. Both sides will want to get a three-point win here and pull away from the mid-table pack.
Jens Gustafsson took the Hacken helm in January 2025 and has done well to oversee a side that plays dynamic, high tempo and attacking football with a structured pressing game and players that can transition quickly. They bounced back from a 1-3 home defeat to GAIS ten days ago by beating Elfsborg 2-0 away just three days later.
Halmstads BK boss Johan Lindholm has been in charge since August 2024 and has brought in a more open brand of football, although they are still guilty of being exposed when pushing forward. Halmstads BK beat AIK 2-0 at home to snap a two-game winless run last time out, after a 0-0 draw at GAIS and a 2-0 defeat to Hammarby IF.
Tactical contrast should ensure end-to-end action
The most recent BK Hacken vs Halmstads BK prediction was a year ago in a friendly and Hacken ran out 4-2 winners at home, but the overall head-to-head record is pretty even at three wins apiece over the last six meetings with no draws.
Given the contrasting styles of these two sides, we could be in for a really good watch on Sunday, but Hacken’s organised aggression will likely prove too much for Halmstads BK in the end.
This BK Hacken vs Halmstads BK prediction is backed by recent form, home form and the odds available.
