Elfsborg are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Malmö FF. Johan Larsson, defender, was given a rating of 7.7/10 in that game, top of the team. Larsson hit the woodwork two (!) times, hit two key passes and won 6 of 8 duels. Elfsborg could not believe their lack of luck in the Malmö FF match, as they hit the posts three times in the 1-2 defeat.
Preceding that match was the home game against Halmstad that was lost 2-3.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Elfsborg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost zero.
