Recent head-to-head meetings slightly favour Hammarby, who have won two of the last five league encounters, while Hacken have managed one victory and two matches have ended level. Hammarby recorded an emphatic 4-0 home victory in the corresponding fixture last season, although Hacken remain unbeaten in their last 12 home meetings against Sunday’s opponents.
BK Hacken team overview
BK Hacken have made an unbeaten start to the 2026 Allsvenskan campaign, collecting four wins and five draws from their opening nine matches. However, draws have become a recurring issue recently, with Hacken sharing the points in four of their last six league fixtures. Their latest outing ended in a 1-1 draw away at Elfsborg.
Offensively, Hacken continue to look dangerous, scoring 17 goals in nine league matches. That attacking approach has helped Hacken remain unbeaten at the Nordic Wellness Arena, where they have recorded two wins and two draws, despite conceding nearly two goals per game on average so far.
In terms of team news, there are no major first-team suspensions reported ahead of this clash. However, squad rotation may become a consideration after a physically demanding schedule over recent weeks.

Hammarby team overview
Hammarby have enjoyed another strong start to the Allsvenskan season, winning five of their opening 10 matches and scoring 22 goals already, making them one of the league’s most productive attacking teams.
Their recent form has been slightly inconsistent, though. After putting together a three-match winning streak, Hammarby suffered a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against rivals AIK in their latest league fixture, having previously lost 2-0 to GAIS a week earlier. Before that setback, they had built momentum with consecutive victories that reinforced their status as genuine title challengers.
Away form could be a concern heading into Sunday’s encounter. Hammarby have lost two of their last three away league games and have managed only two away goals across their last four road fixtures.
Defender Hampus Skoglund is expected to return to contention for selection following his dismissal in the 2-0 defeat to GAIS.

Prediction
Hacken’s unbeaten home record this season gives them a slight edge. What is even more important is that Hammarby head into this fixture having failed to beat Hacken in 12 consecutive away trips at the Nordic Wellness Arena. We predict Hacken will continue this impressive unbeaten run on Sunday.
Prediction: BK Hacken to Win or Draw (Double Chance 1X).
Three reasons we expect Double Chance 1X
- Hacken remain one of only two teams still unbeaten in Allsvenskan this season.
- Hacken are still unbeaten at home this season (W2 D2).
- Hammarby have lost their last two league matches.
