Degerfors and Hacken will trade tackles in a Swedish Allsvenskan matchday 19 fixture on Sunday (August 10th). The game will be played at Stora Valla.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-0 defeat away to Goteborg. They were reduced to 10 men in the opening five minutes following Mamadouba Duaby's double booking. Max Fenger opened the scoring in the 36th minute while Daniel Sundgren scored a 45th-minute own goal. Thomas Santos made it three early in the second half.
Hacken, meanwhile, fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to Brann in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League third round qualification tie. Joachim Soltvedt missed a 16th-minute penalty for the visitors but Saevar Magnusson opened the scoring for Brann in the 28th minute. The 25-year-old doubled his side's lead in the second half.
Hacken will turn their focus back to the domestic scene where their last game saw them fall to a 2-1 defeat at home to Elfsborg.
The loss left them in 10th spot in the standings, having garnered 22 points from 22 games. Degerfors are 15th with 14 points to their name.

Degerfors vs Hacken Prediction
Degerfors are mired in relegation waters. However, they are just one point away from safety but the fact that they have not won a game in almost three months does not inspire confidence.
Hacken have also struggled domestically this term. They have a two-goal deficit to overcome on the continent and manager Jens Gustafsson is likely to prioritize their tie with Brann.
We expect the two sides to share the spoils in a high-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Degerfors 2-2 Hacken
