Hacken Gothenburg vs Molde Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

In Group H of the Europa League, bottom placed Hacken host Molde who are third in the table. Hacken are three points behind their opponents but six adrift of second placed Qarabag and nine behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Hacken really need to get a win from this game and a loss means they will be extremely unlikely to even finish third and go into the Europa Conference League. They have lost all three of their games played in this Europa League group with just one goal scored and ten conceded. A poor campaign began with a 4-0 loss at Bayer Leverkusen and that was followed by a 1-0 home loss to Qarabag. They then travelled to Molde and lost that game 5-1 after being level at 1-1 after 21 minutes. Hacken are third in the Swedish Allsvenskan after 29 games but have only one win in their last three matches with nine goals conceded.

Molde are three points behind second place and will see this game as an opportunity to boost their qualification chances. Avoiding defeat should see them at least get that Europa League transfer. They are struggling for form at present with five of their last six games being lost, the other being the home win over Hacken. Away form is a struggle too with only two wins in their last nine games and two in the previous eight played in the Europa League. A bet on both teams to score looks the best way to get a win here.
