Hacken vs Juventus Prediction 30 September 2026
🔊 The second round of the Women's Champions League brings together two sides who both lost their opening league phase matches. Häcken were beaten by Inter, while Juventus lost at home to Benfica, so this meeting in Gothenburg already carries real significance in the table: the winner will get their first points and improve their position considerably. Both teams come into the match on the back of wins in their domestic leagues - Häcken beat Norrköping, and Juventus defeated Napoli.
For the first time, these teams go head-to-head with no previous meetings between them
📊 Häcken and Juventus have never met in an official match, so there is no head-to-head record to draw on here. For the Swedish side, this fixture carries extra weight given that, following their defeat to Inter, they face Chelsea, Manchester City and Lyon next - the schedule leaves little room for dropping points. Juventus are equally aware of what is at stake: after losing to Benfica, their next opponents are Häcken and Austria Vienna, which makes picking up points right now a priority.
Häcken quickly put their defeat to Inter behind them
In the opening round, Häcken stayed competitive against Inter for long periods but conceded the only goal of the game and began their European campaign with a 0-1 defeat. Just a few days later, the Swedish side responded convincingly on home soil, thrashing Norrköping 6-0 away. That result shows the team have enough attacking resources to cause serious problems for opponents, particularly when they have more space and can sustain prolonged spells of attack.
The step up from Norrköping to Juventus will be a very different challenge, though. Häcken will need to make quicker decisions under pressure and be more careful about controlling space after losing the ball. Against Inter, the Swedish side managed 8 shots to their opponents' 14, with just one on target. It will be particularly interesting to see whether they can get into finishing positions far more often this time.

Juventus have responded well after their setback
Juventus also began their Champions League campaign with a defeat, though the match against Benfica left a more mixed impression. According to Isaac Guerrero, his side had a particularly strong first half, controlling the game, pressing their opponents and creating chances. The final score of 1-2 came after several key moments, including a missed penalty shortly before half-time.
Four days later, the Turin side opened their Italian league campaign with a 3-1 win over Napoli. Juventus had to come from behind after conceding an early goal, with Alba Redondo equalising before Emma Stølen Godø and Remina Chiba added further goals. For Guerrero's team, it is an encouraging sign ahead of the trip to Sweden: after a difficult start in Europe, they quickly got back to winning ways.

🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Both teams prefer to work through possession and positional play, so the match doesn't necessarily have to involve a high number of physical duels. That said, the stakes are significant: a defeat would leave one of the sides without a point after two rounds, which means the intensity of challenges could increase as the game goes on. Given the nature of the match, I wouldn't go too high on the total. The bet is Total Yellow Cards - Under 4.5.
⚽ Goals Prediction
There are reasons to expect a more open game here than in the first round. Häcken followed a 0-1 defeat to Inter by scoring six against Norrköping, while Juventus responded to a 1-2 loss to Benfica by putting three past Napoli. Both sides have shown they can create chances when given space to attack.
At the same time, the level of opposition makes it worth tempering expectations of a one-sided result. Häcken at home will surely look to be bold, while Juventus have no particular need to open up from the first minute. The most logical option looks like Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.55*.
🚩 Corner Kick Prediction
Häcken will need to make more use of home advantage after their defeat to Inter, and Juventus will likely look to work through the flanks and push forward quickly. Both teams' matches tend to feature plenty of attacks that reach the final third, so several spells of pressure could well produce corners. I wouldn't try to pick a winner in this particular market, so I'll go with the overall line: Total Corners - Over 8.5 at 1.67*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Häcken and Juventus go into this match in similar situations: both lost in the opening round but have since responded with wins in their domestic leagues. The Swedish side gained confidence after putting six past Norrköping, while Juventus showed they can turn matches around when things aren't going their way. So in Gothenburg I'm expecting not a cautious, low-key affair but a fairly open contest with chances at both ends. The main bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2-2.
Will this prediction come true?
