Hacken hot at home
BK Hacken are currently sitting third in the table on 17 points from 9 games.
Jens Gustafsson, who took charge in January 2025, has developed a team who are proactive, high-pressing and have the pace to hurt teams on the counter.
Gustafsson’s squad is currently unbeaten in five games in all competitions (W2, D3) after edging out Mjaellby 1-0 on the road, but they have been less consistent at the other end of the scale.
This BK Hacken vs Hammarby IF prediction is strengthened by the fact that Hacken have been much more solid at home, where they have won two and drawn two of their four games this season.
They have conceded on average 1.75 goals per-game at home in the Allsvenskan 2026, with their front three and overlapping full-backs driving a high-tempo, vertical style of play and Gustafsson’s side tends to press high up the field.
Hammarby’s high-press in hot water
