BK Hacken (W)
- On paper, Hacken are the much better side with an incredible 12 points from a possible 12 at the top of the table, while Vaxjo (W) languish in 9th, with just 4 points from 5 matches.
- Hacken play an exciting 3-5-2 system, with their back 3 in a high line, they press aggressively to try and force opponents into turnovers, while their dynamic wingers are excellent in vertical transitions, often creating overloads on the wings.
- Hacken are scoring 3.0 goals per home game so far, with several players pitching in, although Felicia Schroeder leads the line and has netted 3 times in 4 Damallsvenskan matches.
Vaxjo (W)
- Vaxjo (W) will have a very different approach, with boss Olof Unogaard focussing on being compact, organised and disciplined in their 4 back-line structure.
- They will look to spring counter-attacks with pace and width on the break, as they are simply not a good enough team to try and dominate the ball or territory, and the pace of the game is sure to suit the hosts.
Head-to-Head
- BK Hacken (W) have won 5 consecutive games, including a 3-0 victory over Djurgardens IF FF (W) at home last weekend.
- BK Hacken (W) have won the last two head-to-head meetings against Vaxjo (W) including a 5-0 away victory in the Damallsvenskan last season.
Key Players
- Felicia Schroeder leads the line and has netted 3 times in 4 Damallsvenskan matches.
- The visitors are an injury away from potentially being in serious trouble, with Maja Bodin their main attacking outlet, netting 4 of their 8 goals in 5 Damallsvenskan games so far.
Betting Insights
- BK Hacken (W) are 1.11 odds for this one, which is fully deserved given their form and the fact they simply have a far superior squad than Vaxjo (W).
- Backing the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.25 looks like a strong option in this one, as the game will be won by whichever team dictates tempo and Vaxjo (W) are unlikely to be able to do that.
Prediction
- However, Hacken are on a hot streak and they should simply have far too much quality and firepower for the underdogs.
- With just 4 points on the board, this game looks like a long shot for the visitors, who have failed to win any of their last 3 away games against BK Hacken (W).
