Varnamo vs Hacken Prediction and Betting Tips | July 22nd 2023

The Swedish Allsvenskan returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Varnamo and Hacken lock horns at the Finnvedsvallen Stadium on Saturday.

Kim Hellberg’s side will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having lost the last five meetings between the sides.

Varnamo failed to return to winning ways last weekend as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Halmstads at the Idrottsplats Örjans Vall.

Prior to that, Hellberg’s men suffered a 2-1 defeat against Djurgarden on July 8 which saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.

With 16 points from 15 matches, Varnamo are currently 12th in the Allsvenskan table but could move level with ninth-placed Mjallby with all three points on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Hacken progressed to the second round of the Champions League qualifiers as they beat The New Saints 2-0 on Tuesday to claim a 5-1 aggregate victory over the Welsh side.

Per Mathias Hogmo’s men have now won their last five matches across all competitions, including a 4-2 victory over Brommapojkarna in their most recent league outing.

With 35 points from 16 games, Hacken are currently second in the Allsvenskan table, one point behind first-placed Elfsborg.
