GAIS line up against visiting team IF Elfsborg at Gamla Ullevi in this Allsvenskan meeting on Sunday.
Scroll down for all of our predictions, poll and stats for the GAIS v IF Elfsborg game (inc. the best betting odds).
GAIS will play in this fixture following on from a 1-1 Allsvenskan drawn result against IF Brommapojkarna.
In that game, GAIS had 55% possession and 22 attempts on goal with 6 on target. The scorer for GAIS was Henry Sletsjøe (36'). At the other end, IF Brommapojkarna had 10 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Oliver Berg (20') scored for IF Brommapojkarna.
Their more recent scorelines highlight the fact that huge efforts have been put in by the GAIS backline. GAIS have been miserly, resulting in the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past 6 outings standing at 4. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this game, however.
Coming into this contest, GAIS are unbeaten in their previous 5 league matches at home.
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan competition, IF Elfsborg and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that game, IF Elfsborg had 43% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for IF Elfsborg was Ari Sigurpálsson (77'). On the other side, Hammarby IF got 18 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. Paulos Abraham (50') and Montader Madjed (74') scored for Hammarby IF.
IF Elfsborg have been dangerous up front in their most recent fixtures, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that IF Elfsborg can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same outings.
Their past results show that IF Elfsborg:
Checking out their prior head to head meetings dating back to 19/02/2018, neither club has come out on top overall with GAIS winning 3 of those games, IF Elfsborg 3 and 0 being draws after 90 minutes of play.
A sum of 17 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 8 of them from Makrillarna and 9 coming from Di Gule . That’s an average goals per game of 2.83.
The last league encounter between the two was Allsvenskan match day 24 on 20/09/2025 and the score finished GAIS 2-0 IF Elfsborg.
That time, GAIS managed 47% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Goals were scored by Robin Frej (45') and Rasmus Niklasson Petrovic (96').
At the other end, IF Elfsborg got 19 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target.
The referee was Kristoffer Karlsson.
There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the GAIS boss Fredrik Holmberg to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Gustav Lundgren (Achilles tendon rupture) is sidelined.
It seems likely that Makrillarna should use the 4-3-3 formation for this game and select Mergim Krasniqi, Robin Frej, Anes Cardaklija, Oskar Agren, Matteo de Brienne, William Milovanovic, Joackim Fagerjord, R. F. Thorkelsson, Max Andersson, Samuel Salter and Rasmus Niklasson.
IF Elfsborg manager Björn Hamberg has multiple availability issues to deal with. Marcus Rohdén (Muscle injury) and Dion Krasniqi (unknown injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
From our viewpoint, Di Gule will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Isak Pettersson, Rasmus Wikström, Sebastian Holmen, Thomas Isherwood, Niklas Hult, Julius Magnusson, Simon Olsson, Momoh Kamara, Julius Beck, Arber Zeneli and Leo Östman.
We’re of the opinion that IF Elfsborg should get enough chances to get a goal against this GAIS team, however it is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re predicting a 2-1 victory for GAIS at the end of the 90 minutes. Could easily see this go either way.
Checking on the latest odds for this match on the full-time result market, a win for GAIS can be had for 1.86, a wager on a draw is 3.4 and staking on a win for IF Elfsborg gets you 3.9. These are the most competitive market prices that can be secured at the current time.
