Hacken vs Strasbourg prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-05 20:00.
[p]Recent draw specialists HĂ€cken will be looking for their first win of this seasonâs UEFA Conference League when they take on a Strasbourg side looking to break into the top eight.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]HÀcken find themselves on a seven-match unbeaten run that remarkably contains five draws, with that sequence started by a goalless stalemate against Irish side Shelbourne on matchday one. The Wasps were also held last time out in this competition, conceding a gut-wrenching 103rd-minute penalty to draw 2-2 with Rayo Vallecano, with that result leaving them just inside the play-off places and still waiting for their first-ever European group stage/league phase win (D2, L6). Playing away from their usual stadium diminishes home advantage here, but HÀcken should retain confidence from being beaten just once in five European games as the designated home side this season (W2, D2). [/p]
[p]Strasbourgâs positive start to the season has come off the rails in recent weeks, with their last five matches across all competitions returning just one win (D2, L2). They remain unbeaten in their first full European campaign since 2005/06 despite that (W1, D1), with the victory encouragingly coming on the road against Slovan Bratislava on matchday one (2-1). Le Racing have gone winless in their subsequent three away games though (D1, L2), and are in danger of losing three successive road matches for the first time since November 2024 here.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be HĂ€ckenâs first-ever game against a French side, while Strasbourg last faced Swedish opposition back in 1978/79, beating Elfsborg 4-3 on aggregate in a UEFA Cup tie despite losing the away leg 2-0.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Seven of HĂ€ckenâs last eight European home games produced over 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Four of HĂ€ckenâs last five fixtures saw at least one goal scored after the hour mark.[/p]
[p]Nine of Strasbourgâs last 12 matches saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Strasbourg have conceded 2+ goals in six of their last seven away games.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Julius Lindberg scored and assisted for HĂ€cken against Rayo, but that was the only one of his last five strikes to come before half-time. Strasbourgâs ValentĂn Barco is likely to be in the thick of the action having been involved in five goals in his last six games (G1, A4) while also receiving two yellow cards.[/p]
[p]HĂ€cken donât appear to have any fresh injury concerns, but Strasbourg could be without Andrew Omobamidele after he sat out their defeat at Rennes. [/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Goals tend to follow Strasbourg, but we think theyâll have too much for their hosts here so weâre opting for a Strasbourg to win and over 2.5 goals selection.[/p]
