Mjallby v BK Hacken

Mjallby vs Hacken Preview

Mjallby suffered a second defeat on the trot in the Swedish Allsvenskan last time out when they were handed a heavy 3-1 loss at home to Djurgarden, leaving Wednesday night's hosts sitting in fourth place and four points adrift of the top three pack in the division.

Hacken were also dealt a defeat in their last game in the domestic top flight as they were handed a 3-0 loss away from home at GAIS which saw the visitors drop down the Swedish Allsvenskan table to fifth place ahead of this upcoming encounter with Mjallby.

Mjallby had previously lost 1-0 away from home at IFK Goteborg but prior to their recent back-to-back losses in the Swedish top flight, Anders Torstensson's side had put together a promising four-match unbeaten run which consisted of three wins and a draw.

Victories gained over Kalmar 3-2, Halmstad 3-1 and a 3-0 win against Hammarby along with a point picked up in a 1-1 draw with Brommapojkarna had lifted Mjallby up into early contention for a possible European spot in the Allsvenskan.

Results overall this season though have been a little inconsistent with five wins, two draws and four defeats but the goals market looks promising for this upcoming fixture as seven of Mjallby's 11 games to date have produced three goals or more.

Hacken slipped to a second defeat in three games last time out with a 3-0 loss away at GAIS which followed a previous 3-0 loss away at Halmstad but the visitors did manage to pick up a point in between these two recent defeats by way of a creditable 2-2 draw at home with the league leaders Malmo.

The visitors have made a very similar start to this Swedish top flight campaign as their Wednesday night's counterparts, Mjallby, as Pal Arne Johansen's side have also captured five wins, two draws but have also slipped to four defeats already so far this season in the Allsvenskan.

Two of Hacken's five wins to date this term have been achieved on their travels with wins at IFK Goteborg 1-0 and Sirius 3-0 but having produced a mixed bag of results in the early stages of this domestic top flight season, it may be best to consider the goals market for this upcoming clash.

Indeed, no fewer than nine of Hacken's 11 games to date this season have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored and further goals look likely at Strandvallen on Wednesday night.
