Hacken team news
Hacken comes into Sunday's Allsvenskan encounter after a dramatic week of highs and lows in their two most recent fixtures. After a painful 6:1 home reversal against Djurgardens in last weekend's Allsvenskan contest, the Wasps bounced back with a thrilling penalty shootout victory against Anderlecht in Thursday's Europa League qualifier.
Having edged to a 2:1 victory in regulation time, Jens Gustafsson's men eventually secured progress to the next round with a 4:2 win in the shootout. Four of Hacken's last six games have now finished with BTTS, and that outcome seems likely again, given the history of this fixture.
Hacken boss Jens Gustafsson could be forced into some alterations to his first XI after Thursday's gruelling victory against Anderlecht.
Injured duo Brice Wembangomo and Andreas Linde remain sidelined for the home side.

Elfsborg team news
Elfsborg comes into Sunday's Allsvenskan contest with confidence raised after a remarkable 4:3 win against IFK Gothenburg last weekend.
The home side have struggled to maintain consistency in recent weeks after an impressive run of form earlier in the season. After winning eight of nine Allsvenskan games between April and May, Oscar Hiljemark´s men have since failed to win four of their last six league fixtures.
While not quite as reliable in the goal markets as the home side, Elfsborg have seen BTTS in two of their last four games, including last weekend's seven goal thriller against IFK.
Head coach Hiljemark is likely to make at least one change to his first XI on Monday. Johan Larsson is set to earn a recall after bagging twice in his substitute appearance against IFK.
