BK Häcken
- The Allsvenskan's third- and eighth-placed teams, BK Häcken and Vasteras SK FK respectively, face off at the Nordic Wellness Arena in Gothenburg on Saturday.
- Third-placed Häcken are having a good season on 31 points from 18 games, while eighth-placed VSK are on 25 points after 17.
- BK Hacken average 1.78 goals per game at home in Allsvenskan 2026 and have scored 16 goals in total at the Nordic Wellness Arena.
- Häcken have won back-to-back games since being battered 3-0 at Hammarby.
- Jens Gustafsson has been in charge since January 2025 and his high-tempo, attack-first system is ideally suited for them to stay on the front foot at home.
- Häcken's home stats are solid for a team that should take the game to Västerås SK on Saturday with four wins, four draws and just one defeat.
Västerås SK FK
- Västerås SK FK have conceded 20 goals in nine away games in Allsvenskan 2026.
- Västerås SK are streaky travellers, winning four of their nine away Allsvenskan 2026 games, drawing one and losing four.
- Alexander Rubin has a completely different approach to his opposite number and has made Grönvitt a compact and pragmatic team to counter-attack from.
Head-to-Head
Their most recent meeting was a 3-3 draw in Allsvenskan 2026, so there is a recent history of this fixture becoming a wide-open affair.
