Next up, we take a trip over to Sweden for a look ahead to the Allsvenskan clash between 8th placed Elfsborg and 3rd placed Djurgarden as the betting tips continue at the Borås Arena.
Elfsborg Prediction – Can Elfsborg capture back-to-back wins at home?
Following their recent 2-1 home win against struggling third from bottom side, Kalmar, Elfsborg will be looking to post back-to-back wins when Djurgarden visit on Monday night.
That much needed victory over Kalmar ended a dismal sequence of 7 league matches without a win in the Allsvenskan.
Within this poor run of results were 4 defeats to Djurgarden (away from home), Falkenberg, AIK and Hammarby, the latter being a heavy 5-2 defeat.
Indeed, all of these recent losses were incurred away from home, so Elfsborg will no doubt be relieved to be returning to home turf here.
This is especially so as Elfsborg still remain unbeaten on home soil this season at their Borås Arena with a solid record of 4-4-0 12/6.
Only Allsvenskan league leaders, Malmo and 5th placed Hammarby also remain undefeated at home in the Allsvenskan to date.
Elfsborg have recorded wins over GIF Sundsvall 3-1, Orebro 4-2, AFC Eskilstuna 1-0 and Kalmar 2-1 so far this season.
However, it’s interesting to note that all 4 of these victories have been gained over bottom half opposition in the Swedish top flight.
Djurgarden Prediction – Can Djurgarden win 3 on the bounce?
After securing recent back-to-back wins against Kalmar (1-0 away) and 4th placed Hacken (2-0 at home), Djurgarden will seek a third win on the trot here.
These recent wins along with an overall unbeaten run of 9 matches have lifted Djurgarden up into 3rd place and just 2 points behind the top two clubs.
A slender margin of 2 points separates Djurgarden from league leaders Malmo and AIK ahead of this important Monday night clash at Elfsborg.
The visitors therefore know that all three points in this encounter would see them move top of the Swedish top flight by a point.
The aforementioned 9-match unbeaten sequence includes 7 wins and no fewer than 6 clean sheets which places Djurgarden in a strong position ahead of this clash.
The visitors also possess an overall away record of 5-2-1 13/4 which includes a 5-match unbeaten sequence.
Djurgarden have also collected 5 clean sheets on their travels so far this season and indeed, have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 14 matches on the road.
This rare defeat was inflicted upon them by Hammarby, but they hold a solid record against Elfsborg and will be confident of getting something here tonight.

- Elfsborg still remain unbeaten at home in the Allsvenskan
- Djurgarden have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 14 matches on the road
