Elfsborg vs IFK Göteborg: Prediction and odds on the Match on 28 July 2025

Elfsborg and Göteborg will lock horns at the Borås Arena on Monday, 28 July 2025. Goteborg are unbeaten in six of their last eight games and have won five of their last seven games on the road. On the other hand, Elfsborg are unbeaten in their last nine home games against Goteborg, including five wins. Below, you will find the team news, possible starting lineup, head-to-head statistics, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Elfsborg: form and statistics

Elfsborg might not look like a team that will fight for the title this season, yet they look like a team that is ready to clinch a continental ticket. Despite this, their recent form is concerning, having lost 1-0 to Djurgarden in their last match. The Yellow Ones are now winless in five of their last six games, including four losses. However, prior to this run, they had won five straight matches and will need to return to that form to boost their aspiration. At the moment, the Elegants sit 6th on the table with 29 points in 16 games, scoring 27 goals and conceding 19.

Elfsborg: Team News and Injury Report

Elfsborg midfielder Simon Olsson is ruled out of this game due to suspension, and goalkeeper Isak Pettersson remains in the recovery room. With this, Simon Eriksson will continue in his role on the goalpost, getting cover from a three-man defence of Sebastian Holmen, Ibrahim Buhari, and Rasmus Wikström. Wenderson and Jens Jakob Thomasen will operate in the middle while Ari Sigurpalsson, Taylor Silverholt, and Frederik Ihler will operate in the attack.

Goteborg will be without at least six players in this game, with Arbnor Mucolli, Lucas Kahed, Ramon Lundqvist, Gustav Svensson, Kolbeinn Thordarson, and Anders Trondsen all ruled out of this game due to injuries.
