Which side will claim the win when Elfsborg visit IFK Göteborg? In this game guide you'll learn all the relevant info and data required to make a prediction.

Insights:
  • IFK Göteborg have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Elfsborg haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Elfsborg have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-6-6 (win-draw-loss) from 23 matches.

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.
