Häcken vs Strasbourg prediction, H2H and probable lineups – 6 November 2025
One of the matches of the third round of the 2025/26 UEFA Conference League group stage will be played on Thursday at the Gamla Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, where Swedish side Häcken will host French club Strasbourg. Let’s break down this intriguing clash and highlight a bet with solid chances of success.
Match preview
Häcken kicked off the group stage with two consecutive draws, including a dramatic encounter against Rayo Vallecano, where the Swedes conceded a penalty goal in the 113th minute. The team is clearly lacking confidence in the closing moments: this was already their fifth draw in the last six matches, with only one win over that stretch. Häcken are finishing the Allsvenskan season in the lower half of the table, and European competition remains their last chance for redemption.
At home, Häcken are a tough nut to crack, but the stats reveal a certain stiffness in attack, especially against evenly matched or stronger opponents. The absence of two key defenders adds to their defensive woes, which could prove a decisive factor against the French visitors.
Strasbourg remain unbeaten after two opening group stage games, picking up four points and showing balanced football despite the tight European schedule. After a win over Slovan and a draw with Jagiellonia, the team travels to Sweden well-positioned to strengthen their standing in the table. Despite a heavy defeat to Rennes in Ligue 1, Strasbourg can boast a confident start to their domestic campaign.
The French side have their own injury concerns, but their attacking arsenal remains formidable. Particularly noteworthy is Panichelli, who is in excellent form, and the potential return of Chilwell. Strasbourg look like a side with a clear strategy and enough resources to snatch points on the road.
Probable lineups
- Häcken: Berisha, Lindberg, Samuelsson, Helander, Lundqvist, Andersen, Gustafson, Layouni, Rygaard, Dahbo, Brusberg
- Strasbourg: Penders, Doué, Hogberg, Chilwell, Ouattara, El Mourabet, Barco, Moreira, Nanasi, Panichelli, Enciso
Match facts and head-to-head
- Häcken are unbeaten in their last 7 matches, but five of those ended in draws.
- Strasbourg have not lost in their first two Conference League group stage matches.
- Häcken have conceded in their last two European matches.
Prediction
The visitors boast greater European experience and a deeper bench, which could prove decisive in what promises to be a tightly contested affair. The Swedes often falter in the closing stages, while the French side know how to step up when it matters. Our pick for this match: "Strasbourg to win with a (0) handicap" at odds of 1.62.
