Hacken vs Elfsborg Match Analysis and Prediction

Hacken will be looking to extend their Allsvenskan lead when they welcome Elfsborg to Bravida Arena for their matchday 12 tie on Sunday evening.

Hacken have made a strong and impressive campaign this season, with the side suffering just one defeat from their 11 league matches so far, while winning seven and drawing three in the process. With 24 points, Hacken currently sit at the summit of the Swedish top flight on goal difference as they are level on points with second placed AIK, although Hacken have a game in hand.

Per-Mathias Hogmo’s side is coming off a 2-2 draw against Hammarby in their last league match, ending their five-match winning streak in the top-flight. They will now be desperate to quickly return to winning ways as they seek to continue leading the league.

They are however, coming up against tough opponents Elfsborg who seem to have now found stride in the Allsvenskan this season, and thus will need to be at their best game on Sunday.

Elfsborg are coming off a three-match unbeaten run in the Allsvenskan winning two and drawing one. They claimed a confidence boosting 4-1 home victory over Varbergs last time out, a win that saw them climb into seventh place in the league standings, where they sit on 18 points, and three points behind third-placed Djurgarden.

Jimmy Thelin’s side will now be attempting to extend their unbeaten run on Sunday as they seek to continue pushing up the table.

With both sides being under pressure to deliver on Sunday we expect a closely contested encounter that could end in a share of the spoils.
