Predictions and odds analysis from top experts.
The 6th round of the Swedish Allsvenskan League will witness a highly anticipated match between two of the top clubs in the country. The classic showdown between Hacken and Djurgardens takes place on May 4th.
Hacken is currently the defending champion of the league, and they won the title convincingly last year. The home team has been performing quite well this season and is currently in the 2nd position, having lost only one match so far.
On the other hand, Djurgardens finished as the runner-up in the last season, but they have had a rather shaky start to this season, with only two wins, one draw, and two losses in the first five matches. They are currently in the top 6.
In their recent two meetings in 2022 and 2023, the home team has emerged victorious both times. Given Djurgardens' recent inconsistency, it is likely that Hacken will continue to enjoy their winning streak in this match.
Asian handicap odds analysis: Hacken has the advantage of playing at home and a slightly better team quality, so the bookmakers rate them higher with a handicap of 1/2. Moreover, Djurgardens has not won any of their recent 6 away matches, so the home team is likely to take all three points in this game.
Pick: Hacken -1/2 full-time.
Total goals odds analysis: In Hacken's last 15 matches, under 2.5 goals have only occurred once, and they have scored at least two goals in every match except for one, where they lost. Therefore, a high-scoring match is possible, and the over 2.75 goal line is a good bet.
Pick: Over 2.75 full-time.
Predicted score: Hacken 3-1 Djurgardens
Asian handicap pick: Hacken
