Häcken secures goalless home advantage at Nordic Wellness Arena
Häcken faced AIK in a quiet battle at Nordic Wellness Arena on August 1, 2026, and the match ended 0‑0. The result placed Häcken third in the league, while AIK fell to sixth. Next fixture: vs Halmstad (at home, 2026-08-16).
What happened during the match?
The game was marked by defensive efforts from both sides. Häcken recorded two wins, one draw and two losses in the last five matches, with a goal difference of 10‑10. AIK had three victories, one draw and one loss, with a goal difference of 6‑5. Despite several chances, neither side managed to score.
Why does this matter for Häcken?
Sitting in third place means Häcken is still in the race for European spots. A solid defensive display against a strong AIK side shows the team can handle pressure. Injuries to Ben Engdahl and Filip Ohman, however, remind the squad that depth will be tested soon.
What comes next?
After the goalless draw, Häcken returns home to meet Kalmar on August 1 at 15:00. It will be a crucial test for the attack, especially with Engdahl and Ohman sidelined. AIK has a rematch on November 8 at Strawberry Arena, but Häcken’s focus now is to collect points against Kalmar and keep the pressure on the league leaders.
