Häcken host Mjällby in a mid-table vs lower-table clash as the Swedish Allsvenskan enters its final stretch. The home side sit 4th with 32 points from 20 games and are chasing European qualification places, while Mjällby are 12th on 20 points from 19 matches and fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone.

Form & Context

• Häcken: Mixed recent results (including a 0-0 derby draw with GAIS). They remain solid at home and have the quality to control games.
• Mjällby: Struggling badly, with a run of consecutive defeats and defensive issues (conceding regularly). They will look to frustrate and counter.

Häcken won the reverse fixture 1-0 away in May 2026. Head-to-head has been competitive historically, but the hosts are clear favourites on current form and table position.
