Elfsborg vs AIK Predictions

• Elfsborg have won four of their last five home Akllsvenskan matches.
• AIK have taken one point from two games after the return from the mid-season break and scored just one goal.
• AIK are without forwards John Guidetti, Jordan Larsson and attacking midfielder Nabil Bahoui.

Depleted AIK face stern test

AIK face a severe test of their squad depth and title credentials when they take on an Elfsborg side on the rise at Boras Arena this weekend. Gnaget suffered their first home loss since 2020 last weekend when Mjallby took the points by scoring the only goal of the game and prior to that they were held by lowly Degerfors.

There were signs of struggle appearing even before the mid-season break when Bartosz Grzelak’s side came from behind to beat rock-bottom Helsingborg.

AIK have just lost speedy frontman Jordan Larsson, who scored three goals while on loan from Spartak Moscow, while new signing John Guidetti is not yet fit to play and top-scorer Nabil Bahoui remains injured.

Elfsborg can wrap up home win

To say they are a little thin in attack is an understatement and that can be ruthlessly exploited by an Elfsborg team that have demonstrated they have no issues scoring goals at Boras Arena. Fourteen of their total 24 league goals this term have come in four of their last five home games, including four apiece against Varnamo and Varberg.

They were unlucky not to take all three points away to Hacken last weekend and should deliver against a hamstrung AIK side on Sunday.

The odds against price for the hosts looks reasonable in the circumstances and a forecast 2-0 success should have a good chance of landing given the hosts average 2.33 goals per game on their patch this term.
