Goteborg vs Elfsborg Match Preview

Goteborg is ranked at 10th place with 9 points and comes after five consecutive draws over the last five matches. They have six draws out of eight games played so far, which means they are the team with the fewest losses in the league but also the fewest wins. Currently, they sit only 1 point above the relegation zone, so they will seek to get a positive result while at home in order to keep the distance.

In the last season, they finished strong in the final games which permitted them to remain at the top division but they have got to try more this year. In the last five matches, they have scored four goals while managing to find the back of the net on three occasions. The thing is they did very well at home as they scored seven goals in four duels while scoring at least a goal in each outing.

Elfsborg, on the other hand, is ranked at 7th place with 13 points and comes after two wins a draw, and two losses over the last five matches. It has been an average season for them so far, considering that in the last one they managed to finish in the top three, securing a spot in the Europa League qualifiers. Still, the distance is just 1 point from the 3rd place and in case of a win here they would surely climb some ranks.

With 12 goals scored until now they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five games scored a total of eight goals, averaging more than a goal per game. Even away from home, they have done pretty well with six goals in four games, scoring at least once in three outings.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Goteborg knows they need to take the maximum they can out of their home games and this makes no difference. I expect a goal by them considering they scored in four of the last five h2h home games against these rivals. Elfsborg is a better team and will try to reach one more victory after that over Norrkoping before the international break.
