IF Elfsborg

DDDLLL 📉

Since being beaten in their last game against IK Sirius in Allsvenskan competition, IF Elfsborg and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, IF Elfsborg managed 49% possession and 18 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. IK Sirius had 17 attempts at goal with 9 of them on target. Mohamed Soumah (82'), Robbie Ure (84', 90') and Oscar Krusnell (88' Own goal) scored for IK Sirius.

IF Elfsborg have been effective going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 6 goals in their last 6 matches. While their manager Björn Hamberg will no doubt take that as a positive sign, IF Elfsborg can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same outings. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, of course.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that IF Elfsborg:

• have not registered a win against Malmö FF when having played them away from home in the previous 11 matches in the league. Not an away record to be proud of.

🗞️ Team News: Malmö

There is just the lone fitness concern for the Malmö boss Gaute Helstrup to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Pontus Jansson (Cruciate ligament injury) will miss out.

We are thinking that Himmelsblått may well line up in a 4-3-3 formation for this game featuring Johan Dahlin, Jens Larsen, Andrej Djuric, Malte Frejd Palsson, Noah Astrand John, Theodor Lundbergh, Otto Rosengren, Adrian Skogmar, Sead Haksabanovic, Erik Botheim and Anton Höög.

ℹ️ Team News: IF Elfsborg

IF Elfsborg boss Björn Hamberg has to currently contend with reduced team options. Marcus Rohdén (Muscle injury) and Dion Krasniqi (unknown injury) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, Di Gule might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Isak Pettersson, Rasmus Wikström, Sebastian Holmen, Thomas Isherwood, Niklas Hult, Julius Magnusson, Simon Olsson, Momoh Kamara, Julius Beck, Ari Sigurpalsson and Frederik Ihler.

✨ Prediction

We think that IF Elfsborg will really need to work well to be putting a goal past this Malmö FF lineup who we think will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

Therefore, we predict a very even contest with a 1-0 advantage for Malmö FF when the referee blows for full-time.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
