Norrköping started the season on a very poor note, losing 5-1 to Malmo in the season opener. They suffered another 3-0 loss in their second game of the season against Mjallby before getting back on track with a 1-0 win over GAIS in their third game and recorded a 1-1 draw in their last match against Goteborg. Norrköping are currently 14th on the table with 4 points in 4 games, scoring 3 and conceding 9.
Kristoffer Khazeni is out of this game with an injury, and Jacob Ortmark is still nursing an ACL injury.
Elfsborg
Elfsborg's good start to the season suffered a setback in their recent games. They started the season with a 2-2 draw against Varnamo before recording a 1-0 win over Vasteras. However, their unbeaten run in the season ended when they lost 3-0 to Hammarby, and most recently lost 2-1 to Kalmar. Elfsborg are currently 11 on the table with 4 points in 4 games, scoring 4 goals and conceding 7.
Sebastian Holmen (groin injury) and Aron Gudmundsson (foot injury) are sidelined in this game.
Possible Starting 11
Norrkoping – Oscar Jansson, Yahya Kalley, Max Watson, Amadeus Sögaard, Daniel Eid, Ismet Lushaku, Isak Ssewankambo, Joseph Ceesay, Arnor Ingvi Traustason, Tim Prica, Christoffer Nyman.

Expert Betting Tips
Although Elfsborg have not been superb this season, Norrkoping have also been below par. However, going by their head-to-head record, Elfsborg have not lost 8 of the last 9 games against Norrkoping. So I don’t see them getting a defeat here. Additionally, both teams will find the net, as has happened in their last 5 meetings and 8 of their last 9.
- Elfsborg Draw No Bet for 1.60 odds
- W2 for 2.10 odds
- BTTS for 1.60 odds
