Elfsborg
Allsvenskan
Last season, these teams met twice, and interestingly, both teams won their road matches. Over the past ten H2H games, each team won four times.
When it comes to the number of goals, seven of the past ten H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in eight of them.
Elfsborg team overview
Elfsborg came into this season after a disastrous end to the last season, which eventually pushed them all the way to 8th spot. This season, the Yellow Ones started better and are in 4th place with 16 points from 9 rounds. However, they are already six points away from the top spot and have played one game more. The main issue this year is their pretty bad road record, which makes these home games particularly important.
In the previous game against Mjallby, midfielder Julius Beck suffered an injury and had to leave the field after 73 minutes. It is an unfortunate moment for the 21-year-old, given he just returned from a thigh injury. Moreover, Per Frick, Ludvig Richtner, and Rasmus Wikstrom should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Hacken team overview
Hacken came into this season after one of their worst seasons in recent years. They finished 10th, but similarly to Elfsborg, they are doing much better this year and are in 3rd place with 16 points from eight rounds. Interestingly, Hacken are one of the only two undefeated teams this season, along with 1st-placed Sirius. They are generally in good form, and it seems they are getting better and better as the season progresses.
Midfielder Abdoulaye Doumbia will serve his one-game suspension due to yellow card accumulation. The 18-year-old has been excellent this season and is one of their key pieces. Additionally, Leo Vaisanen, David Seger, Sabri Kondo, and Etrit Berisha should remain sidelined.

Prediction
Both teams have scored in five of the past six Elfsborg's games and are one of the best teams for this type of bet in the league, with 67% of their games finishing with BTTS. Additionally, they have scored in each of their nine games and have averaged 1.6 gpg at home. Therefore, we expect at least one goal at Borås Arena.
Hacken have also scored in all of their games this season, while averaging 2.0 goals per game. We believe they can score against anyone, but we do not trust their defense to keep a clean sheet. Thus far, they had two clean sheets but were super lucky in those matches. In one of those, they had a player more for more than one half, and in the second one, the opposing team missed a penalty.
Eight of the past ten H2H games ended with both teams scoring. Considering all the above, we expect an exciting game with both teams scoring at least once.
3 Reasons why both teams should score
- Both teams scored in all of their league games this season
- Hacken averages 2.0 per game
- Both teams have scored in eight of the past ten H2H games
