We predict multiple scoring opportunities in Monday night's games: Accumulator Tips for August 11, 2025

Borås Arena plays host to an Allsvenskan clash on Monday evening as Elfsborg welcome struggling IFK Värnamo to Boras. Sitting third and 16th respectively, the hosts are clear favourites to claim the points, yet recent meetings suggest we could be in for a competitive contest this weekend. Elfsborg failed to win their last three matches against IFK. The new Super Lig campaign continues on Monday night as Trabzonspor welcomes newly promoted Kocaelispor to Papara Park. It is the first competitive meeting between the clubs since Kocaelispor’s top-flight relegation in 2003, and the hosts will be keen to make a statement against last season’s 1. Lig champions. Meanwhile, FC Porto will face off against Guimarães in Portugal Liga round 1 matchup at Estadio do Dragao Stadium.

Elfsborg vs Varnamo

Elfsborg comes into Monday's Allsvenskan contest in high spirits after picking up back-to-back Allsvenskan victories in the past fortnight. Following a thrilling 4:3 win against Goteborg, Oscar Hiljemark's men claimed a 2:1 road win at Hacken last weekend. Elfsborg have now seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in three of their last four matches, Placed third in the division, eight points behind surprise leaders Mjallby, Elfsborg remain in title contention as we head into the final stretch of the season. A solid home record has helped fuel their championship dreams, with six wins picked up in six games played at Borås Arena this season. Meanwhile, IFK will come into Monday's contest in dreadful form, with only eight points picked up from 18 Allsvenskan games played this season. Still bottom of the division, Varnamo find themselves six points short of safety with only 12 fixtures remaining. Arne Sandsto's men did pick up a 2:2 draw against GAIS in their most recent fixture, but remained bottom of the pile, and in serious danger of relegation. A dismal away record has seen Varnamo pick up just one point from eight Allsvenskan road games this season. Therefore, I expect at least three goals in this matchup, since the home team will aim to secure a win and extend their winning ways to three to maintain their place in the Conference league qualification.

Predicted & Confirmed Lineups

🔖 Elfsborg predicted lineup (3-4-3): Simon Eriksson (GK), Rasmus Wikström, Ibrahim Buhari, Terry Yegbe, Johan Larsson, Besfort Zeneli, Wenderson, Simon Hedlund, Leo Östman, Frederik Ihler, Taylor Silverholt.

🔖 IFK Varnamo predicted lineup (4-3-3): Hugo Keto (GK), Johan Rapp, Souleymane Coulibaly, Rufai Mohammed, Axel Björnström, Carl Johansson, Simon Thern, Noah Shamoun, Mohammad Alsalkhadi, Marcus Antonsson, Ajdin Zeljkovic

Trabzonspor vs Kocaelispor

Trabzonspor and Kocaelispor have met only six times in competitive action, with Trabzonspor winning three, Kocaelispor taking two victories, and one match ending in a draw. Their most recent encounters came in the 2008–09 season, when Trabzonspor won 2-1 in December and 3-1 in May. Historically, these matches have tended to produce goals, averaging just under three per game, and while the small sample leans in Trabzonspor’s favour, Kocaelispor have shown they are capable of getting positive results in this fixture. Therefore, since both teams will play their opening match of the season, I expect both teams to display superiority in attack while I expect more than two goals to be recorded.

Predicted line-ups

🔖 Trabzonspor (4-2-3-1): Cakir, Batagov, Savic, Saatci, Pina, Yokuslu, Mendy, Cham, Eskihellac, Sikan, Zubkov

🔖 Kocaelispor (4-3-3): Jovanovic, Dijksteel, Wieteska, Appindangoye, Haidara, Nonge, Celik, Tunali, Caglayan, Petkovic, Mendes

• Bet on: Over 2.5 goals 1.79

FC Porto vs Guimarães

FC Porto had a good run last season in the Primeira Liga. They finished third in the league table and played Club World Cup and friendlies after finishing the league season. They are now on a three-match unbeaten run and their latest game was against Atletico Madrid which ended in a 1-0 win for them. They will play Guimaraes on Monday in their first match this season. Guimaraes finished 6th in the league table last season. Anyway, they lost two of their last three games and will come into the first game with that form. Moving on, FC Porto lost just once in the last 16 head-to-head games against Guimaraes. At home, FC Porto stayed unbeaten in 13 of their last 15 games against Guimaraes and won 12 of them. Therefore, I expect both teams to showcase a scoring play in this match since both teams will aim to secure a win in their opening encounter.

Predicted & Confirmed Lineups

🔖 Porto predicted lineup (4-3-3): Diogo Costa (GK), Alberto Costa, Jan Bednarek, Nehuen Perez, Martim Fernandes, Victor Froholdt, Alan Varela, Gabriel Veiga, Borja Sainz, Samuel Aghehowa, Pepe.

🔖 Vitória predicted lineup (3-4-3): Charles (GK), Toni Borevkovic, Rodrigo Abascal, Miguel Nobrega, Vando Felix, Tomas Handel, Tiago Silva, Joao Mendes, Nuno Santos, Nelson Oliveira, Oumar Camara
