Elfsborg vs IFK Goteborg Predictions

• Goteborg have lost four of their last five games
• Elfsborg have won 11 of their last 12 league games
• The hosts have won by two clear goals in each of their home wins

Goteborg out of their depth

This clash pits first against 15th, with IFK Goteborg sat second-bottom in the Allsvenskan going into this weekend. The visitors have picked up only eight points from their first 14 games this term and they make this trip having lost four of their last five games.

The visitors have the league’s joint-worst away record and no side has secured fewer points across the last eight games. Elfsborg lead both the form table and the league table and they look to be getting stronger by the week, which is ominous for the strugglers.

Elfsborg to cruise to victory

Elfsborg had a rocky start with just a point and no goals scored across their first two games, but since they kicked into gear they haven’t looked back. The hots have won 11 of their last 12 league games and they have scored 2.7 goals per home game.

Elfsborg boast the league’s best defensive record and they meet a Goteborg side who have scored just three times across their seven trips to date. The visitors look set to be outclassed and Elfsborg head into this one as odds-on-favourites.

The hosts have won by at least two goals in each of their home victories so far this term and Goteborg have already lost 4-1 at third-placed Hacken this season. Back another heavy defeat, with Elfsborg well priced with a -1 handicap.
