After two draws, Hacken aims for its first Europa Conference League victory of the season to secure a top-24 spot. They host Strasbourg, a team with a dismal away record in recent matches, yet consistently finds the back of the net.

Hacken’s league campaign in Sweden has concluded, with their focus now entirely on European competitions. The Swedish side drew with Shelbourne (0:0) and squandered a late victory, conceding in the 90+13th minute against Rayo Vallecano (2:2). Their main strength lies in their home form; they’ve lost only once in their last six home matches across all tournaments, including a decisive 7:2 win over CFR Cluj, scoring in every game during this period.

Strasbourg’s form is concerning, with just one win in their last five outings. Their start in the Europa Conference League has also been shaky, despite accumulating four points. They secured a narrow 2:1 win against Slovan, where the Slovakians managed 22 shots on target, and an unexpected 1:1 draw with Jagiellonia, scoring only once despite an xG of 2.59. However, Strasbourg’s attack remains their strong suit. They average two goals per game in Ligue 1, and Panicelli has already scored nine times, including one in the Conference League.

Hacken performs confidently at home, a stark contrast to Strasbourg’s away struggles. The Swedes will be fully focused and energized for their European challenge, but the French side possesses the attacking prowess to trouble the hosts’ defense.
