Häcken vs GAIS prediction, H2H and probable lineups - June 29, 2025
On Sunday, June 29, the Bravida Arena in Gothenburg will host a highly anticipated Matchday 13 clash in the Swedish Allsvenskan between Häcken and GAIS. Here’s my take on a goals-focused bet for this encounter.
Match preview
This season, Häcken are teetering between ambition and inconsistency. Jens Gustafsson’s side have picked up just 15 points from 12 rounds, with only one win in their last five outings. Sitting eighth in the table, morale is clearly low after a heavy 0-3 defeat to Malmö.
At their home ground, Bravida Arena, the Wasps haven’t shown much stability – just 8 points from 6 matches. Still, the attacking duo of Leach Holm and Dembe can trouble even the most organized defenses. Youngster Dembe is already displaying a mature game, while Leach Holm, with five goals, remains their main hope up front.
GAIS head into the summer break in excellent form—three wins and two draws from their last five games. Victories over Sirius (2-1) and Norrköping (3-0) have boosted Fredrik Holmberg’s side, while striker Ibrahim Diabate continues his scoring spree, taking his tally to 10 goals in 15 matches.
On the road, the Green-Blacks have lost just once all season, an impressive stat by any standard. GAIS play mature, balanced football with clinical finishing and a solid backline. Special mention goes to Kevin Höilmen, whose midfield stability and tempo control have been pivotal to the attack.
Probable lineups
- Häcken: Berisha; Jansson, Andersen, Lode, Lundqvist; Dabo, Rygård, Gustafson, Niule; Holm, Dembe
- GAIS: Krasniqi; Wangberg, Frey, Ogrén, Wendin; Milovanovic, Höilmen, Budri; Lundgren, Diabate, Niklasson
Match facts and head-to-head
- GAIS have lost only one of their last four Allsvenskan meetings with Häcken.
- Their most recent encounter, in November 2024, saw GAIS triumph 2-1.
- Häcken have lost four of their last six league matches, while GAIS are unbeaten in five straight games.
Prediction
GAIS arrive as the more organized and confident side. Their away consistency, defensive solidity, and Diabate’s red-hot form suggest their unbeaten run could continue. Häcken can put up a fight, especially at home, but based on current form the visitors look the better bet. Our pick: "GAIS to win with a (0) handicap" at odds of 2.00.
