**Häcken welcome free-falling Mjällby to Gothenburg in what should be a comfortable home fixture.** The hosts are bouncing back nicely; the visitors are in absolute freefall. 🔴

Häcken mixed their form with a thumping 3-0 away at Sirius but also got turned over 1-3 at home to Västerås. Mjällby, meanwhile, have lost their last five straight — including a pair of heavy defeats to Djurgårdens. This is the kind of matchup where form becomes destiny.

Key storylines:

- **Häcken's midfield engine**: A. Doumbia and S. Hestnes will need to control possession against a Mjällby side lacking cohesion
- **Mjällby's defensive crisis**: Back-to-back 4+ goal hammerings spell trouble for R. Wallinder and the backline
- **Home comfort**: Häcken are 10-7-7 up on Mjällby in the head-to-head; expect that edge to show

Expected lineups:

- **BK Häcken**: E. Berisha, A. Lundqvist, F. Helander, H. Hilvenius, B. Wembangomo, A. Doumbia, S. Hestnes, A. Svanbäck, M. Rygaard, J. Lindberg, G. Lindgren
- **Mjällby AIF**: R. Wallinder, A. Iqbal, T. Pettersson, A. Norén, M. Nielsen, T. Miettinen, J. Gustavsson, V. Granath, Á. Samuelsen, J. Bergström, J. Kjaer

Prediction:

**Häcken 3-0 Mjällby** — Mjällby's defensive shambles gives Häcken an easy afternoon. 🎯
