Djurgården vs Häcken Prediction & Preview

Preview

As we gear up for an exciting clash in the Sweden Allsvenskan this Monday, 08th April, all eyes will be on the Tele2 Arena where Djurgården is set to host Häcken in what promises to be a riveting encounter. The game kicks off at 17:10, marking an early highlight of the league's second round.

Djurgården enters this match under the guidance of Thomas Lagerlöf and is currently sitting comfortably in 3rd place with a strong start to the season – securing 3 points from their opening game. Their impressive performance was showcased against IFK Göteborg away from home, where they claimed a resounding 4-1 victory.

On the other side of the pitch, Häcken, led by coach Pal Arne Johansen, has had a less than ideal start to their campaign. Positioned at 11th with zero points following their opening match defeat against Mjällby at home (0-1), they'll be eager to turn their fortunes around.

The head-to-head record between these two teams adds an extra layer of intrigue. In their last five encounters, Häcken has managed three wins compared to Djurgården's two victories. However, it’s worth noting that Djurgården took home a win during their most recent battle on June 26th, with a narrow yet significant scoreline of 0-1 at Bravida Arena.

Both teams have demonstrated contrasting forms; Djurgården boasts an impeccable record with one win from one game while scoring an average of 2.4 goals per match this season. Their defensive unit has been equally impressive by conceding just under one goal per game on average.

Contrastingly, Häcken’s struggle is evident both in offense and defense - scoring only an average of 1.5 goals while conceding twice as many when playing away from home.

Bet

Taking into account both team’s current form and performance statistics — especially considering Djurgården's strong offensive output (averaging over two goals per game) against Häcken's defensive vulnerability (conceding two goals on average when playing away) — betting enthusiasts might find value in expecting more than just a few goals hitting the net.

Given these dynamics along with attractive odds presented for different outcomes; my recommended bet would lean towards "Over 2.5" goals priced at odds of 1.6 . This choice reflects not only statistical backing but also acknowledges both sides' recent form and historical matchups which hint towards potentially another high-scoring affair.
