Varberg vs Hacken Prediction 05.06.2023

• Competition: Sweden Allsvenskan
• Date: 05.07.2023
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
• Venue: Paskbergsvallen (Varberg)

One of the 11th-round last matches of the Swedish Allsvenskan league will take place between Varberg and Hacken squads. The home team had a terrible start to this season, and they are still winless with 5 draws and 5 defeats. The situation is already alarming and this could very easily turn into a disappointing season. In the match of the previous round, they won a point on the road against Degerfors and thus ended an unpleasant streak of 5 consecutive defeats, but there is still no way out of the crisis.

Last season, Hacken won the historic first title of Swedish champion in its almost 100-year-long history, so the club's ambitions also skyrocketed. Their wish is to defend their domestic title and make the best possible result in Europe, but they will have strong competition. So far they have collected 22 points, 3 less than the leaders Elfsborg and Malmo. In the last round, they beat Gothenburg at home with a score of 4:1 and thus ended a streak of two matches without a win. All players made a good contribution in this victory, and perhaps the experienced Dane Mikkel Rygaard stood out the most with a goal and an assist. For him, it was already 9 assists in 10 games played, according to which he is currently the leader in the league.

Varberg vs Hacken pick: ASIAN HENDICAP 2 (-1.5)

This should be a one-sided match. The home team will probably improve their form at some point in the season and record some victories, but for now, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. It is hard to believe that at this moment they can seriously oppose the current champion, who arrives at this visit full of confidence after a convincing victory in the last round over Gothenburg. Hacken has won only one point in the last three away games and this is the ideal opponent to record a routine victory and catch an additional link behind the leading teams.
