WDLWW

Hacken have been in excellent form this season, accumulating 25 points from 12 matches and currently sitting near the top of the league table. Their impressive goal-scoring record of 31 goals is the highest in the league, showcasing their attacking prowess.

Benie Traore, the 20-year-old forward, has been a standout performer for Hacken and leads the goal-scoring charts. His goal-scoring form will be crucial for the team as they aim to maintain their high-scoring streak. Their ability to consistently score two or more goals in nine out of their 12 matches demonstrates their attacking intent.

Hacken's strong performances at home have seen them win four consecutive matches. They have only suffered one home defeat against Kalmar in the second round.

Although they will be without midfielder Samuel Gustafson due to suspension and Oscar injured, Hacken will likely maintain their attacking style of play. They are determined to remain in the title race and secure back-to-back championships. Closing the three-point gap between them and first-place Malmo is vital, making the upcoming match against Mjallby a must-win.

Considering Hacken's impressive goal-scoring record and their desire to defend their title, a home win should be considered the likely outcome of the match.

Mjallby enter this match in 10th place on the table with 15 points from 11 games. They have had a relatively low-scoring season, both in terms of goals scored and conceded, with 9 goals each.

Their recent form has been short of commendation, with only one win in their last four games. Additionally, they have struggled to find the back of the net, failing to score in six of the 11 games played this season.

Mjallby's victory against Goteborg, thanks to Adam Stahl's goal, provided a boost, but they face a tougher challenge against Hacken, who are in contention for the title. The absence of defender Ivan Kricak due to suspension, as well as the injuries to Silas Nwankwo and Adam Petersson, will be setbacks for Mjallby.

However, Mjallby can take encouragement from the fact that they have already achieved two away victories this season. They will need to show resilience and make the most of their chances if they want to secure a positive result against the title-chasing hosts.

BK Hacken - Peter Abrahamsson, Valgeir Fridriksson, Johan Hammar, Even Hovland, Kristoffer Lund, Mikkel Rygaard, Simon Gustafson, Amane Romeo, Momodou Lamin Sonko, Bénie Adama Traoré, Lars Olden Larsen.

Mjallby - Noel Törnqvist, Adam Stahl, Noah Eile, Colin Rösler, Tom Pettersson, Arvid Brorsson, Otto Rosengren, Jesper Gustavsson, Herman Johansson, Max Fenger, Alexander Johansson.

Hacken's impressive form this season, with eight wins in 12 matches and an average of 2.58 goals per game, has kept them in contention near the top of the table. In contrast, Mjallby has struggled to score, averaging less than a goal per game.

Considering Hacken's strong form and attacking prowess, they are expected to be the dominant force in this match. Their impressive form is likely to be the key factor that will determine the outcome of the game.
