With an unbeaten home record, Mjallby qualify as our tipster's favourite to win the Swedish Allsvenskan fixture against Hacken on Monday.
After a slow start, where they failed to score in first three games of the season and two resulted in defeats, Mjallby stabilized their campaign with back-to-back home wins over Degerfors and Ostersunds before the 1-1 away draw at Halmstad.
They left a very good first impression last season by finishing 5th only to miss the European spot by 2 points. This is excellent achievement by a club in its first season of promotion.
Hacken were third in the season, they will go to Europa Conference League qualifying round for the new season.
There are plenty of worries for head-coach Andreas Alm since his team is yet to replicate the fighting spirit from previous season.
After 6 rounds of football, Hacken lost 4 including the latest at home to Orebro, with the remaining two resulting in draws.
They are massive underdogs here, often happens in Scandinavian football, where most teams lack the consistency to finish in the top half.

Mjallby vs Hacken Prediction
Hacken haven't started the season well and they are still looking for their first win of the season while Mjallby is in fine tough with their defense being one of the toughest to crack in the Swedish first tier this season.
Therefore, we do believe there is great value in backing a home win here, regardless of Hacken's solid record at this ground.
Meantime, brave punters can back the correct full-time score 2-0 in favour of the Hallevik.
