The Scandinavian theme continues with our next pick as we head off to Sweden and a look ahead to the clash between Elfsborg and Kalmar as the betting tips continue at the Borås Arena.
Elfsborg Prediction – Can Elfsborg remain unbeaten at home?
10th placed Elfsborg head into Monday night’s encounter with Kalmar having gone without a win from their last 7 matches in the Allsvenskan.
This 7-match slump in form has resulted in 4 defeats and 3 draws for Monday night’s hosts, so they’ll be keen to return to winning ways here.
Losses to Djurgarden, Falkenberg, AIK and Hammarby have seen Elfsborg drop down to 10th place on the Allsvenskan table.
However, Elfsborg’s one saving grace has been their solid form on home turf at their Borås Arena where they still remain unbeaten.
An overall home record of 3-4-0 10/5 includes wins over GIF Sundsvall, Orebro and AFC Eskilstuna as well as 3 clean sheets.
The bigger picture shows us that Elfsborg have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 10 matches in their own backyard in the Allsvenskan.
In fact, Elfsborg have lost just 4 of their last 20 home matches in the Swedish top flight, so they look set to add to their points tally here.
Kalmar Prediction – Can Kalmar kick-start their season?
It’s been a difficult and disappointing campaign for Kalmar so far in this season’s Swedish Allsvenskan as the visitors occupy 14th place.
Third from bottom position is a precarious place to be in the domestic top flight as they currently occupy the relegation play-off spot.
The visitors head into this important Monday night clash on the back of 4 straight defeats which has left them just 2 points above the relegation pack.
Defeats to Djurgarden (home and away), AIK and AFC Eskilstuna is not great preparation for this difficult looking trip.
In fact, it’s now 8 matches without a win for Kalmar who have earlier suffered defeats to Hacken and Malmo on their travels.
An away record of 1-3-4 5/10 includes 4 defeats from their last 5 matches on their travels, while also failing to score in 4 of their 8 away matches to date this season.
Having failed to score in 4 of their last 5 away matches as well, this looks a tall order for Kalmar against a solid Elfsborg side on home turf.
Key-Facts – Elfsborg v Kalmar
- Elfsborg have lost just 4 of their last 20 home matches in the Swedish top flight
- Kalmar have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches in the Allsvenskan
- Elfsborg are unbeaten in their last 4 encounters at home against Kalmar
Betting Tips Verdict
Elfsborg have been disappointing of late but should get a result at home here.
