Elfsborg suffered a 2-1 loss to Djurgarden in their last league outing. They have won their last six games before the narrow loss. However, they have played two games in the Europa qualification rounds since the loss. First, they defeated S. Tiraspol to advance to the semifinal of the rounds, where they got a 1-1 draw in the first leg against Rijeka despite playing with ten men for over 30 minutes of the game. They are unbeaten in 8 of their last nine games in all competitions. They have also won 4 of their last five games.

Expert Betting Tips

GAIS have exceeded expectations from being a relegation side to a side fighting for a slot in Europe. However, despite sitting 7th on the table, Elfsborg are still a side that knows how to deal with the so-called big boys. I expect both teams to find the back of the net in this clash, and Elfsborg will win in the end.
