The Swedish top flight action continues on Monday night and the second of the two matches being played concern Elfsborg taking on Helsingborg as the betting tips continue at the Borås Arena.
Elfsborg Prediction – Can Elfsborg close the gap on top seven?
Although the hosts have failed to win any of their last 4 matches overall in the Allsvenskan, Elfsborg will no doubt be confident they can turn things around at home here.
Recent defeats to Djurgarden and Falkenberg in 2-0 and 2-1 losses respectively and both away from home have prevented Elfsborg from climbing the table.
Even though they’ve picked up points in recent draws with Kalmar and Hacken, this means that Elfsborg have gained just 2 points from the last possible 12 on offer.
However, Elfsborg still remain unbeaten on home turf this season at their Borås Arena which will give the hosts hope of bouncing back on Monday night.
Elfsborg possess a solid record on home soil which stands at 3-3-0 9/4 which has seen the hosts record 3 clean sheets in each of their last 3 at home.
In addition, Elfsborg hold a very good record at home against Helsingborg as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 7 meetings at home soil against them.
Helsingborg Prediction – Can Helsingborg grab back-to-back wins?
Helsingborg ended a miserable 9-match sequence without a win in the Swedish top flight last time out with a 1-0 win at Orebro.
The visitors had been suffering from a severe dip in form which had culminated in 5 defeats and 4 draws which had been a worrying slide.
The win away at Orebro now gives Helsingborg a glimmer of hope of getting something from this Monday night clash at Elfsborg.
An away record of 1-1-4 4/10 however is a disappointing return for the visitors so far this season on their travels, and they’ll be up against it here.
The bigger picture tells us that Helsingborg have won just 3 of their last 18 matches on the road, so they’ll have their work cut out to get even a point in this clash.
As mentioned earlier, Helsingborg haven’t enjoyed much success on their trips to the Borås Arena for some time, and this trend could continue on Monday night.
In addition, Helsingborg have failed to score in 9 of these last 18 away matches, as well as keeping just 3 clean sheets.
