General comment about the game
Second placed Häcken plays away to bottom side Friska Viljor today. Häcken was one of the big favourites before the season and so far this has been fulfilled. Häcken is in the top and it is very likely that will stay there and get directly promoted to Allsvenskan. Häcken has been going well all of the season and they only have two losses so far, away against fellow top team Gefle and Café Opera. Häcken beat GAIS last time in the Gothenburg derby with 2-0. The game was quite even and there was really a derby character over it, with lot of fighting and lot of will. Häcken’s Eirik Dybendahl made both goals in the second half and could secure the victory for them. After the game against GAIS, Häcken has been resting last weekend and now the reports from the training sessions last week says that they feel very hungry and motivated for the final part of Superettan. Häcken has four players on the injury list. Only first team regular missing is defender Johan Lind. Also unavailable are defender Marcus Jarlegren, forward Tom Ekliden and midfielder Ronnie Tygesson. Neither of these players played in the derby game against GAIS and since the starting is almost regular we think that Häcken will be a good bet here; this is not a game that will be played around Häcken’s goal.
Friska Viljor is a newcomer and it really looks as if they will be relegated directly. They have had a tough season and for the moment they have four straight losses; in three of these they have let in a number of goals. Last round an unimpressive Friska Viljor lost at home to another struggling team Brage with 1-0. The game was a very dull affair between two sides that had very big problems to create goal scoring opportunities. Brage however managed to make one goal and could go home as winners. Friska Viljor has played good football during some games this season but in recent rounds their play has been very bad. Also their main striker Daniel Johansson has found it very hard to score. Now he has not made any goals on the eight latest rounds and that is not good for Friska Viljor. Today midfielder Ibrahim Atiku (17(6) apps, 4 goals) is suspended, while Marcus Olofsson (11(10) apps, 1 goal) is out with injury.
