BK Hacken have avoided defeat in nine of their 11 home matches this season, compiling four wins and five draws while scoring 18 goals. They arrive with positive momentum after consecutive victories over IF Elfsborg and Kalmar FF, keeping clean sheets in both games. Top scorer G. Lindgren has 12 league goals and will test an Orgryte defence that has conceded an average of 2.6 goals per game on the road.
Orgryte IS have struggled away from home all season, suffering nine defeats in 11 away matches and failing to score in six of those trips. Their squad depth is further compromised with five players sidelined by injury: A. Abukar, R. Alm, V. Ekblom, W. Svensson, and J. Tibbling. While Orgryte proved capable of troubling Hacken in their 4-3 win in July, Hacken strong home resilience makes the hosts highly likely to avoid defeat.
