Häcken lines up against Kalmar FF with two changes
BK Häcken faces Kalmar FF at the Nordic Wellness Arena at 15:00 in the Allsvenskan round. Coach Jens Gustafsson has swapped Filip Helander for Olle Samuelsson and brought in new signing Harun Ibrahim to replace the suspended Julius Lindberg. On the road side, Kalmar’s coach Toni Koskela made several adjustments, including replacing Rony Jansson with Fabian Björklund.
What do the changes mean for Häcken?
Samuelsson takes over in defense, offering a different dynamic after the previous match against AIK. Ibrahim, who recently signed, gets a chance to demonstrate his contribution to the attack. Even with two players sidelined - Ben Engdahl and Filip Ohman - the coach still has a wide pool to choose from.
How does the starting eleven look?
Häcken starts with Linde in goal, followed by Wembangomo, Hilvenius, Samuelsson and Lundkvist across the back line. The midfield consists of Doumbia, Hestnes, Ibrahim, Rygaard and Svanbäck, with Lindgren up front. Kalmar FF’s eleven features Brolin in goal, with Björklund, Sætra, Keita, Øverby in defense and an attacking line led by Rosenqvist.
What lies ahead after the match?
Following today’s game, Häcken looks ahead to its next fixture: an away clash with Malmö FF on October 18 2026. The result in Gothenburg could shape the club’s standing as the season enters a decisive phase.
