Häcken, after two draws, will try to claim their first win of the season in the UEFA Europa Conference League and strengthen their position in the top 24. Strasbourg Alsace, poor away from home lately but still scoring regularly, will visit the Swedish side.
Häcken
Häcken no longer have objectives in the Allsvenskan and are now focused solely on European competition. They drew with Shelbourne (0:0) and conceded an equaliser in the 90+13 minute against Rayo Vallecano (2:2). The main strength of Häcken is their home ground. In their last six matches in all competitions there, they have lost only once, but crushed CFR Cluj (7:2) and scored in every game in this run.
Strasbourg Alsace
Strasbourg Alsace have been poor, with only one win in their last five matches. In the UEFA Europa Conference League, the visitors also started unconvincingly, although they collected four points. There was a narrow win over Slovan Bratislava (2:1), where the Slovak side attempted 22 shots, and an unexpected draw with Jagiellonia Białystok (1:1) with one goal from 2.59 xG. However, attack is precisely their strong suit. On average, they score two goals per game in Ligue 1, and Joaquín Panichelli has already scored nine times, including once in this tournament.
Häcken vs Strasbourg Alsace Prediction
Häcken play with assurance at home, which cannot be said about Strasbourg Alsace away. The hosts will focus on European competition and will be highly motivated, but the French side can also cause problems for their defence. Both teams are likely to create chances, and the visitors’ attacking metrics suggest they can find the net even if the hosts dictate the play.
