Competition: Mon 23.Oct
Match begins: 17:10 (UTC)
Venue: Borås Arena (17800 seats)

A home win is predicted from this game if the league standings is to be trusted. The Elfsborg club members are confident that the gulf between 1st and AIK's 11th place in the table will be visible on the ground.

Insights:
  • Elfsborg have the fewest conceded goals (22) in Allsvenskan
  • Elfsborg have scored at least twice as many goals at home as AIK have scored away.

5-2-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for AIK when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 13 matches are 27-24 (scored/conceded).

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
