Djurgarden vs Hacken Prediction & Match Preview

• Djurgarden are on a run of seven straights wins across competitions.
• Hacken opened the season with a disappointing home loss to Mjallby last weekend.
• Djurgarden notched three or more goals in all but one of the previous six games in all competitions.

Djurgarden are flying high at the start of the new Allsvenskan campaign. They translated the magnificent preseason form into the opening day fixture against IFK Goteborg last Monday. Djurgarden demolished the rivals 4-1 on the road, dominating the pitch from the first to the final minute of the game on the occasion.

Lucas Bergvall and Tobias Gulliksen were the main offensive creators while centre-back Marcus Danielson delivered a goal and an assist in Goteborg. Djurgarden will be looking to back up such a strong start to the season this Monday. They host Hacken in Matchday No 2 at Tele2 Arena.

Hacken will hardly repeat last season’s success. The team that came third in the previous term of Allsvenskan has lost some key players in between the two seasons. They also lost head coach as Per-Mathias Hogmo made a move to Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds. His successor Pal Arne Johansen is clearly struggling to find the winning formula at the moment.

• Djurgarden will come into this on the back of two straight 1-0 wins in the matches against Hacken.
• Djurgarden also own a great home record in this matchup. They won 13, drew 2, and lost 5 of the previous 20 home outings against Hacken.
• Only one of the previous five H2H matches offered goals at both ends.

Djurgarden vs Hacken Prediction

Hacken are not pulling up any trees at the start of the year. They produced worrying displays in the group stage of Svenska Cupen in February. Johansen’s men continued the negative thread with a 1-3 defeat to Elfsborg in a preseason exhibition. The confirmation of their poor form came in the last weekend’s 0-1 home defeat to the likes of Mjallby at the start of the new Allsvenskan season. The story is completely opposite with Djurgarden. They are on a fabulous run of seven straight wins across competitions. They also made it to the Svenska Cupen final after a win over AIK on penalties in the Stockholm derby in the semi-finals. Tradition also favours the hosts here. Djurgarden to win has to be the way to go at the 1.75 odds.

Djurgarden are scoring for fun at the start of the year. They bagged nine goals in the last two wins over Orebro and IFK Goteborg. They have also notched at least three goals in five of the last six outings across competitions. We will alternatively take the 1.60 odds offered for the Over 2.5 goals bet.
