Elfsborg vs Sirius Prediction: A goal-filled game expected

Elfsborg will continue to find their footings when they welcome Sirius to the Borås Arena on Monday. Elfsborg have seen just 1 win this season. Can they see the second? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Elfsborg

DWLLL

Elfsborg were superb last season, as they fought to the final match day before losing the title to Malmo. However, they still need to replicate that momentum this season, as they currently sit one place above the relegation zone with just 4 points after game 5. They have experienced three losses in a row coming to this game, with the last game being a 4-2 loss to Norrkoping. Elfsborg were already 2-0 up in the first 45 minutes before losing control of the game in the second half, which led to them conceding four goals.

Sirius

WWLLD

Sirius started the season with two wins (against Halmstad and Kalmar) but lost their third and fourth games (against Djurgaden and Varnamo) before fighting back to earn a 1-1 draw in their last game against Brommapojkarma. Sirius now sit 9th on the table with 7 points in 5 games, scoring six goals and conceding 5. Meanwhile, Filip Olsson is out of this game with an injury, and Tobias Carlsson is doubtful due to a head injury.

Possible Starting 11

Elfsborg – Isak Pettersson, Johan Larsson, Ibrahim Buhari, Terry Yegbe, Niklas Hult, Noah Söderberg, Andri Fannar Baldursson, Simon Hedlund, Michael Baidoo, Arber Zeneli, Per Frick.

Sirius — Jakob Tannander, Jakob Voelkerling Persson, Henrik Castegren, Malcom Jeng, Dennis Widgren, Daniel Stensson, Leo Walta, Andre Alsanati, Melker Heier, Noel Milleskog, Yousef Salech.
