BK Hacken vs. IFK Gothenburg Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between BK Hacken and IFK Gothenburg, taking place on Sunday, 15 September 2024, at Bravida Arena in Göteborg.
BK Hacken, Recent Form
BK Hacken were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 3-3 draw against IFK Norrkoping. They came away from that fixture with 66% of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, IFK Norrkoping managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
Whilst manager Paco Johansen will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 16 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 9 of their 10 played at Bravida Arena this season.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at Bravida Arena and recording 3 wins in that same period.
On an individual basis, Ali Youssef will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in BK Hacken's last 6 league games.
IFK Gothenburg, Recent Form
IFK Gothenburg won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 home defeat to Hammarby IF, given that their opponents sit a full 10 places above them in the league table. In that game they had 37% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 0 on target, compared to Hammarby IF who had 16 attempts and 3 on target.
Having scored 6 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Paulos Abraham will be hoping to create problems for BK Hacken in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for IFK Gothenburg.
