Hacken to seal Europa League group stage spot against Aberdeen
Aberdeen FC vs BK Häcken - 31/08/2023
3028
On Thursday night, Aberdeen and Hacken clash at Pittodrie Stadium in the Europa League play-off round second leg. The first leg ended 2-2 in Sweden, so this tie is wide open.
The first-leg result means that the Dons are unbeaten in their previous three games in all competitions. Conversely, the Scottish team has won just one of their last six competitive matches.
Once again, a positive for Aberdeen is that they have scored at least two goals in three of their last four games, but they have also conceded at least two goals in three of their previous four outings.
The first-leg encounter saw Aberdeen appear in the Europa League for the first time since 2020. To say their record in the competition is inconsistent would be an understatement, as they have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last six games.
One positive for the Dons is that they have won four of their previous six games in the Europa League and three of their last four games at Pittodrie.
The Swedish team followed up the first-leg draw with a 4-2 defeat at Goteborg in the Allsvenskan. The defeat ended a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions. Hacken have still won four of their last six games, though.
Despite failing to win either of their last two games, Hacken has been prolific in front of goal, scoring at least two goals in their previous eight matches in all competitions.
The visitors have been relatively difficult to beat in the Europa League, losing just one of their previous six games.
The Swedish team are also unbeaten in their last three Europa League matches, having recorded two wins and a draw.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Hacken will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to seal their place in the group stages of the Europa League.
