- Competition: Allsvenskan
- Date: Sunday, 20th July, 2025
- Kickoff: 15:30 UK / 16:30 CEST
- Venue: Örjans Vall (Halmstad)
Halmstad have been a team that often went between Superettan and Allsvenskan. However, in the last two seasons, they managed to survive, finishing 12th each time. This year, the team from Halland county is in a similar situation as they are sitting in 11th place with 16 points in 15 rounds - 1.07 points per game. That is around the same ppg as the last two seasons (1.1 and 1.2).
Hacken's results declined since winning the title in the 2022 season, as they finished third and eighth in the previous two seasons. This year, they had a terrible start and, because of it, are sitting in eighth place with 21 points in 15 rounds. Still, the Wasps managed to win the Svenska Cup and secured European Qualifiers. For now, they are doing well there, considering they eliminated Trnava in the first round of the Europa League. After the Halmstad match, they will face off against Anderlecht in the second round.
Halmstad vs Hacken pick: Both teams to score
Halmstad have had their ups and downs and has been inconsistent, result-wise. However, at home, they rarely fail to score goals. In eight home games in Allsvenskan, they only failed to score in the first game vs Degerfors. They managed to score against really good teams like Mjallby, AIK, Elfsborg, etc... So, we expect them to score in this game as well.
Hacken are in really good form, winning three and drawing once in the last four matches. They scored at least a goal in all of those matches and scored a total of nine goals - 2.25 per game.
Interestingly, these teams met only a week ago, with Hacken winning 4:1 at home. Additionally, both teams scored in three of the previous five h2h games - 60%. Considering all the above, we believe that both teams to score bet is the safest option for this Allsvenskan tie.

Halmstad team news
On 17th July, the team added striker Emmanuel Yeboah on a loan deal from Brondby. Last year, the 22-year-old spent most of his time on a loan at Vejle and wasn't among the best players on the team. We expect him to be only a backup at Halmstad.

Hacken team news
After eliminating Spartak Trnava, coach Jens Gustafsson spoke to the media. He was satisfied with a win, but mostly focused on Backar Silas' red card in the final moments of the match. He said they love Silas and that he is fantastic for them on and off the field.
Peter Abrahamsson, Johan Hammar, Jacob Laursen, Leo Vaisanen, and Brice Wembangomo, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.
