- Elfsborg enter the match with 10 points from their last 5 games and an attack in strong form.
- Norrkoping have just 4 points in their last 5 matches, conceding an average of 1.8 goals per game this season.
- Both teams have shown a high tendency for corners, especially Norrkoping with 13.8 per match on average.
- Recent meetings suggest the potential for goals, with both teams scoring in several of their latest fixtures.
Norrkoping’s season has been a rollercoaster, and the recent run of just 4 points from 5 games hasn’t done much for confidence. They’ve scored 8 goals in that stretch, but the other side of the coin is the 1.8 goals they concede on average per game. They’ve failed to score in two of their last five matches, frustrating for fans who know there’s attacking quality in the squad. The big question is whether the coach will tweak the approach or double down on his system. Can a shift in tactics unlock the consistency they’ve been missing?
On home turf, Norrkoping remain dangerous going forward, but defensive lapses have been costly. Matches involving them tend to deliver goals: 90% have seen over 1.5, and 60% over 2.5. That’s partly why they’re involved in such open contests, often swinging from end to end. With both teams scoring in half of their games this season, Sunday could easily follow the same pattern if the backline isn’t tightened.
Elfsborg, in contrast, come in with a confident stride: 10 points from their last 5 matches, and three straight without defeat. They’ve hit 10 goals in that period, showing sharpness in attack and a willingness to push forward. In fact, their last three games have all had 3 or more goals, which speaks to a side unafraid to take risks. Will they go full throttle again, or play it safer away from home? That’s the tactical puzzle here.
Defensively, Elfsborg have been more solid than Norrkoping, conceding less than a goal per game on average. Still, they’ve seen both teams score in 44% of their matches, suggesting they can be breached. With their attacking form and Norrkoping’s defensive gaps, there’s every reason to think we might see an open, lively contest. Add in both sides’ sky-high corner counts and you’ve got a clash that could be as busy in the stats column as it is on the pitch. This one could be a fun watch for neutral fans – and a fascinating test for punters looking at Allsvenskan Predictions this week.
Norrkoping’s matches this season have been a corner-lover’s dream. They average 7.2 corners won and 6.6 conceded per match, making for a massive 13.8 total corners per game. Remarkably, every single one of their fixtures has gone over 9.5 corners. That’s not a trend – that’s a habit. Elfsborg’s numbers aren’t as extreme but still solid, with 4.78 corners won and 5.67 conceded per game, averaging 10.45 total. Over half of their matches (56%) have also cleared the 9.5 mark. Stylistically, Norrkoping’s direct attacking play and Elfsborg’s willingness to counter means both teams push forward often, leading to more set-piece situations. Combine this with the likelihood of an open game – given both sides’ recent high-goal matches – and the recipe for corners is almost baked in. Even if the scoreline swings one way, the chasing team is likely to rack up late corners. Over 9.5 corners looks a high-percentage play here.
