Degerfors faced a tough challenge in their most recent match against Djurgarden, which ended in a 4-1 defeat for the struggling side. This result adds to Degerfors' ongoing struggles in the season as they find themselves in the 15th position on the league table with 20 points. Throughout the season, Degerfors has found it difficult to secure positive results, scoring just 21 goals and conceding a staggering 47.

Despite their recent loss, there is a glimmer of hope as they have managed to secure three wins in their last five games across all competitions. Currently residing in the relegation zone, Degerfors recognize the urgency of collecting points to climb out of this precarious position. Their recent form indicates a potential turnaround, and they will be looking to build on it to ensure their survival in the league.

Häcken are riding high on a wave of confidence as they prepare for their upcoming match, having recently secured a spot in the Europa League. Their impressive 5-3 aggregate victory over Scottish side Aberdeen in the final match of the qualification rounds not only earned them a place in the group stage but also showcased their competitive prowess.

In recent times, Häcken have demonstrated their resilience and quality by losing only one of their last seven games across all competitions, an impressive record that includes five victories. This strong run of form has elevated them to the 3rd position on the league table with 44 points from 21 matches. They have been prolific in front of goal, scoring 52 times while maintaining a solid defensive record by conceding only 26 goals. With their recent successes and the momentum they have built, Häcken are poised to approach their upcoming clash with optimism and determination, aiming to continue their impressive form and maintain their standing in the league.

Degerfors - Sondre Rossbach, Abdelkarim Mammar, Oscar Wallin, Seid Korac, Elyas Bouzaiene, Christos Gravius, Rasmus Örqvist, Johan Martensson, Joseph-Claude Gyau, Hugo Bolin, Diego Campos.

BK Hacken - Peter Abrahamsson, Simon Sandberg, Even Hovland, Johan Hammar, Valgeir Fridriksson, Samuel Gustafson, Mikkel Rygaard, Amane Romeo, Momodou Lamin Sonko, Srdjan Hrstic, Amor Layouni.

Häcken are determined to maintain their title challenge, and I believe they'll secure a victory in this match. While the hosts might manage to score a consolation goal, I don't expect them to score more than they'll concede.
