The action continues in round 15 of the Swedish Allsvenskan as Varnamo and Hacken square off at the Finnvedsvallen on Saturday. With their UEFA Europa Conference League qualification clash with Dudelange on the horizon, Pal Arne Johansen’s men will head into the weekend searching for a morale-boosting result.
Varnamo were denied a third consecutive away win last Sunday when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Djurgarden at the Tele2 Arena.
Anes Mravac’s side now return home, where they have failed to win six of their seven games this season, losing five and claiming one draw so far.
With 17 points from 14 matches, Varnamo are currently 12th in the Allsvenskan table, level on points with 13th-placed Goteborg.
Hacken, on the other hand, continued to struggle for consistency as they suffered a 5-3 defeat against Elfsborg at the Bravida Arena last weekend.
Johansen’s men have now failed to win five of their last seven league games, losing four and claiming one draw since picking up back-to-back wins over Sirius and Kalmar in May.
Hacken have picked up 23 points from their 15 league games so far to sit fourth in the table, 12 points adrift of first-placed Malmo.
Varnamo vs Hacken Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- Hacken hold the upper hand in the history of this fixture, having won five of the last six meetings between the two sides.
- Varnamo have managed one win in that time, which came in July 2023, when they beat Johansen’s side 1-0 on home turf.
- Hacken have lost all but one of their last five away matches across all competitions, with a 2-1 victory at Vasteras on July 8 being the exception.

Varnamo vs Hacken Prediction
Looking at past results between the two teams, Hacken journey to the Finnvedsvallen as firm favorites to come away with the desired result. Both sides head into the weekend in similar form, but we fancy Hacken to secure all three points, albeit by the odd goal.
Prediction: Varnamo 1-2 Hacken
