Predictions and Best Odds for Varbergs vs Hacken
The reigning champions Hacken are dedicated in their quest to defend their title.
Contents
Half-Time Hacken
The defending champions have started the season well, they are currently placed third in the rankings trailing Elfsborg and Malmo by three points. Their next opponent is Varbergs who is the only team after ten rounds of matches without a win and thus, they are the last-placed club in the league. Hacken has the firepower to put the hosts on the back burner and make sure that the game is decided by half the point of the game. Varbergs barely escaped relegation from Allsvenskan last season, and that is something that will be a real possibility this time around as well. Interestingly, the last couple of times they played when Varbergs was the host, the game ended with a 1-1 score.
Over 2.5 Goals
Hacken has been firing on all cylinders in the first eleven games of the season scoring almost three goals per match. They are the highest-scoring team in the league at the moment and will be looking to add to their tally against the last-placed Varbergs. The home team has the worst defensive record thus far, so this is something to look after when choosing the pick for this Varbergs vs Hacken prediction. Hacken played eight over 2.5 goals matches from eleven games they had on schedule while Varbergs had four of those games out of the last five outings. Looking at their h2h record, three out of the past five encounters crossed the line.

Varbergs vs Hacken Lineups, Preview, and Team Information
Varbergs
With their limited budget, Varbergs will be looking to avoid relegation once again. They did it last season by fighting until the very end, however being without a win after ten matches in the current championship is a cause for major concern. Jon Birkfeldt is out through injury while Maxime Sainte is suspended.
Possible lineup: Lukic, Frigell Jansson, Lindner, Sverrisson, Nogueira, Lushaku, Tranberg, Karlsson, Sisse, Krasniqi, Sainte.
Hacken
Even though they were the crowned champions last season and will be playing in the Champions League qualifying stage, Hacken management didn't spend a lot of money in the last transfer window. Most of the players that were brought in were free transfers. There were, however, some departures, but it seems that the team is again well-balanced with the new arrivals. The bad part is that the squad has significant health issues at the moment: Oscar Uddenas, Ibrahim Sadiq, Franklin Tebo, Tobias Carlsson, Tobias Sana, and Ali Youssef are injured.
Possible lineup: Abrahamsson, Lund, Hovland, Hammar, Fridriksson, Romeo, Gustafson, Rygaard, Larsen, Traore, Sonko.
Player to Watch: Benie Traore
Bringing in Benie Traore was one of the biggest coupes for Hacken in recent years. The 20-year-old striker from the Ivory Coast arrived two years ago from a local club in this African country without anyone knowing anything about him. Slowly, but surely he impressed everyone at the Swedish club and soon became their main center-forward.
This season he has been outstanding by scoring ten goals in eleven matches played. He was involved in every single minute that the team has played this season and his goal tally is one of the main reasons why Hacken is once again a title challenger. His transfer valuation has skyrocketed in a short while, and that means the team has a terrific bargaining chip if they decide the sell his services to a club in a bigger competition.
Starting lineups
