Peter Abrahamsson, Jasse Tuominen, Daleho Irandust, Erik Friberg, Godswill Ekpolo, Martin Olsson, Yannick Adjoumani, Samir Maarouf,  Ture Widestrand and  Patrik Wålemark are out. 

Looks worrying as such does it not? However Häcken has a squad of 30 players, and only a few them would be automatically starters. There is a lot of team building still to do at Häcken who got rid of 17 players after last season and who signed 12 new ones, but all in all the quality of the players seems better than last year.

Västerås seem very ready for the Superettan, and their cup run is simply amazing! The reasons for are the succesful training season without much injuries, they are physically fit and well-trained. 

Yet, in comparison to player by player there is no question of the big favourite. There are about 20 players at Häcken who are individually rated as better ones than the most expensive and ranked Västerås players, so it is clear that for any Västerås success they need a 100% commitment, team spirit and following of the team strategy. 

The other semifinal is in two weeks time, Djurgården will face either Hammarby or Trelleborg, and the Allsvenskan is set to start on April 10th so it is time for Häcken to be ready for the season!

In my estimations Häcken win this handicap more than 50% of the times.

2-0
