BK Häcken secured an important friendly victory with a 1-0 win away to IF Elfsborg. The match was played on Friday and served as a key part of the team's preparations for the league restart.
The team's form heading into the match was solid. Häcken go into the break fifth in Allsvenskan with 36 points. They are on a two-game winning run, including this one, and look stable. Their last competitive outing was a comprehensive 5-0 win over Kalmar FF, where Gustav Lindgren scored a hat-trick.
The meeting with Elfsborg was the first clash between the sides since last year. The historical record has been even, but Häcken have now won three of the last five encounters. This win provides a vital confidence boost.
Next up is a home fixture against Örgryte IS, who currently sit 15th in the table. It will be another chance for Häcken to build on their momentum. The season's top scorer, Gustav Lindgren with 12 goals, will be a key figure in their attacking development.
