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.

There’s a good chance that Di Gule appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Isak Pettersson, Rasmus Wikström, Sebastian Holmen, Thomas Isherwood, Niklas Hult, Julius Magnusson, Simon Olsson, Momoh Kamara, Julius Beck, Arber Zeneli and Leo Östman.
⚡ Prediction
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.
