Hacken to have their way
Vaxjo head coach Olof Unogaard has his Vaxjo side set up with a disciplined four-back system, they are a compact and deep side. They will look to be compact in the defense, and look to counter with pace and width when possible.
They will need to make the most of their chances on the counter, as Hacken have a forward-thinking 3-5-2 system, with Elena Sadiku at the helm, which is one of the most proactive and high-pressing styles in the league. Hacken play with a high line, transition from defense to offense at a rapid pace, and press relentlessly when without the ball to try and force turnovers in wide areas where they can overload with bodies.
Felicia Schroeder is the target man up top for Hacken, and she has three goals in four Damallsvenskan matches so far. However, it’s not just Schroeder that has been contributing to an average of three home goals per game. Hacken are a team full of firepower, and they should have no trouble breaking down the Vaxjo defense.
Vaxjo have been poor on the road so far this season, and the last three meetings between these sides saw them win none of the contests. Based on our BK Hacken (W) vs Vaxjo (W) prediction, Vaxjo are an honest team, and the only player who has a real finishing ability is Maja Bodin. Their problem is, Bodin has four of their eight goals this Damallsvenskan season.
BK Hacken (W) to win and over 2.5 match goals looks like a great bet, but the odds are short. For those looking for BK Hacken (W) vs Vaxjo (W) betting tips, the Over 2.5 market is currently at 1.25, which is a very low return, but is a decent value bet considering the styles of both teams.
