Discover expert Allsvenskan Predictions powered by XpertStats insight and stats.
- Goteborg have won four of their last five Allsvenskan matches.
- Elfsborg are winless in their last three league outings.

- Elfsborg boast a stronger away record than Goteborg’s home form.
Goteborg head into this fixture buoyed by four wins in their last five league matches, including a convincing 3-1 victory over Sirius. Under Stefan Billborn, the side has rediscovered confidence, climbing to seventh in the table with 22 points from 14 games. Max Fenger remains a standout threat up front with 11 goals so far this season. However, Goteborg’s home form remains inconsistent, having claimed just 10 points from seven matches at Gamla Ullevi. They’ll need to tighten up defensively, too, given their average of 1.14 goals conceded per match.
Recent history does not favor Goteborg in this fixture. Despite scoring in their last six meetings against Elfsborg, they have only managed one win in the previous ten clashes. They have also struggled for clean sheets, registering just one shutout in their last 11 league games. The home crowd will expect them to build on their positive momentum, but keeping the visitors at bay could prove difficult.
Elfsborg, meanwhile, sit fourth in the Allsvenskan with 26 points and will be determined to end their three-match winless run. Oscar Hiljemark’s side fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to Hacken last time out, raising concerns over their recent form. However, their away record remains solid, with 10 points collected from six games on the road. Elfsborg’s average of 0.83 goals conceded per match shows their defensive resilience, and they’ll look to rediscover the attacking spark that saw them put four past Halmstad in May.
Key to Elfsborg’s chances will be Frederik Ihler, who is expected to return to the starting XI after netting seven goals this term. With additional firepower from Taylor Silverholt, they have enough quality to test Goteborg’s backline. While their scoring average sits at 1.17 per match, Elfsborg’s tight defensive setup could frustrate the hosts. Considering recent head-to-head trends and the teams’ current trajectories, backing Elfsborg to avoid defeat seems a value play among the Allsvenskan Predictions for this round.
Backing Elfsborg on the double chance (X2) looks sensible given both form and head-to-head history. Despite Goteborg’s recent resurgence, they’ve only won one of the last ten meetings between these sides. The hosts average 1.29 goals scored and 1.14 conceded per game, showing they can be leaky at the back. Elfsborg, meanwhile, have a stronger away record this season with 10 points from six matches and a tight defense conceding just 0.83 goals per game. Frederik Ihler’s return to the starting XI boosts their attack, while Taylor Silverholt adds another threat up front. Goteborg have managed just one clean sheet in 11 games and struggle to shut teams out, especially at home. With Elfsborg still eyeing European spots and needing to bounce back from three winless games, they’ll be highly motivated to avoid defeat. Statistically and mentally, this match-up favors Elfsborg to grab at least a point.
