BK Häcken (home)
- Jens Gustafsson’s side play a 4-3-3 system that is proactive and attack-minded, using their superior possession to create width and overloads and pressing high up the field to force turnovers in dangerous areas. This BK Hacken vs IFK Norrkoping preview highlights the tactical battle fans can expect in the upcoming fixture.
- However, that approach has left them vulnerable to the counter attack, and Hacken are currently 12th in Allsvenskan 2025 with 26 points from 24 games, conceding 27 goals in just 12 home matches.
- Hacken have won 1 and lost 4 of their last 5 league matches, falling to consecutive Allsvenskan defeats to IFK Göteborg and Hammarby IF. Additionally, our BK Hacken vs IFK Norrkoping prediction is influenced by such recent form.
- They have won just 3 of their 12 home fixtures this term, losing the most recent.
IFK Norrköping (away)
- That’s the type of matchup that IFK Norrkoping, led by Martin Falk since January, thrive on.
- Falk has installed a compact and counter-punching style on his side, who sit 10th in the 2025 Allsvenskan table on 29 points after 24 games. As a result, this BK Hacken vs IFK Norrkoping prediction will have to account for Norrkoping's recent resilience away from home.
- Norrkoping have won 3, drawn 1 and lost only 1 of their last 5 Allsvenskan games, culminating in a 3-1 home win over AIK.
- Norrkoping are unbeaten in their last 3 away Allsvenskan matches, winning 2 and drawing 1.

Betting Insights

- Norrkoping are in much better shape after an unbeaten run of 3 games on the road, so the narrow +113 odds on the home team are a bit short with the visitors at +196 and the draw at +427.
Prediction
- However, it is a tough matchup to call as the sides have split the last 3 meetings with each claiming one win and a draw.

- They should be in the game for all 90 minutes.
