Malmo – Hacken

Malmo Hacken betting previewMalmo will try to regain the first place in Allsvenskan with a win over Hacken at Swedbank Stadion.

The reigning champions are clearly the best team in Sweden, arguably by an even larger margin than last year. After the Champions League experience they brought in some really quality. Just a few examples include Sana (ex-Ajax), Bengtsson (ex Twente), Eikrem (ex Cardiff) or Berget (ex-Celtic). These guys came to play alongside an already stacked roster which includes the likes of Rosenberg (ex WBA, Werder) and other players above the level of Swedish football. Malmo is yet to taste defeat in the 8 rounds elapsed so far and at home they have been particularly solid – after a 0-0 draw in the opening round with AIK, they won all other 3 home games by handicap.

Hacken is in pretty good form with 3 wins in the last 4 matches, but they met some of the worst teams in Allsvenskan, like Orebro or Halmstad. Hacken should do well to finish somewhere in the middle of the table, but right now they could have done better than the current 8th place, considering they had arguably the easiest schedule in the league.

Team news: No new game changing injuries or suspensions are reported, and both sides should use similar lineups to the ones they fielded last week, when Malmo held Elfsborg to a 2-2 draw on the road and Hacken defeated Orebro 2-0.

Hacken is not a bad side, but they are nowhere near Malmo’s quality and looking at the roster and form of the hosts, it’s hard to see anything than a convincing home win. Look for Malmo to put a lot of pressure from the start, hold most of the possession and find the winning goal(s) over the course of the 90 minutes. Their offensive lineup has quality that Swedish football has not seen in the last decade, so they should be able to cover the handicap.

At the very least Malmo should win it by 1 goal, but chances are they will do it by 2 or 3. My tip is Malmo to win with a 1,25 goal asian handicap. Prediction: Malmo – Hacken 2-0.
