BK Häcken v Värnamo : Allsvenskan match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 18th May, 13:00 BST, Brastad Arena,

Jens Hartel's BK Häcken side will have home backing in the Allsvenskan on Sunday afternoon, as Robin Dutt's Värnamo arrive at the Brastad Arena. Below you'll find unique statistics for all of the main betting markets, from both teams to score to double chance, including form and historical head to head (H2H) data. Predictions are calculated from these, and the odds come straight from the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Both our prediction and odds from the bookies suggest that this Allsvenskan tie should present fine viewing for neutrals in the ground, with at least 3 goals to scored in the match. As we don't have an obvious winner here given their recent form, we're going with the statistics and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point to over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.
