- Venue: Borås Arena
Elfsborg will be looking to maintain their recent strong form this weekend when they play host to Hammarby.
Eleven games into the campaign, the hosts are in third place, just two points behind the top spot. Their supporters will not be getting carried away just yet, but this fine start means a lot to them after watching their side finish outside the top five last season. Oscar Hiljemark’s side have won each of their last five league games, scoring exactly four goals in each of the last three, and they will be looking to extend that run on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Hammarby ended their two-match winless streak on Monday with a narrow 1:0 victory over Degerfors. With only two points separating them from Elfsborg, Kim Hellberg’s side will be aiming to claim third place with a win this weekend. However, that's unlikely to happen, as Bajen have won just one of their last four away fixtures.
Elfsborg vs Hammarby Betting Tips: Elfsborg to win or Draw
Not only have Elfsborg won all of their last five league games, they are also still unbeaten at home this season, having won five and drawn one of their six games. Oscar Hiljemark’s team have also kept three clean sheets at home this season.
Hammarby may have won two of the last three meetings between the two teams but neither of those victories came at this stadium. The visitors are without a win in their last ten Allsvenskan visits to Borås Arena, and I think that run will continue this weekend.

Elfsborg team news
Head coach Oscar Hiljemark is expected to resist the temptation to make alterations to the side that was on the pitch from kick-off in the 4-1 win over Halmstad last Sunday.
Frederik Ihler’s goal in that game took his tally for the season to seven and the Danish is expected to lead the line on Saturday afternoon.

Hammarby team news
Hampus Skoglund is a doubt for Hammarby this weekend after lasting only 45 minutes in the 1-0 win over Degerfors last weekend.
Apart from the defender who could be replaced by Sebastian Tounekti head coach Kim Hellberg has no injuries or suspensions to report ahead of Saturday’s game.
