Elfsborg will be looking to register a third consecutive home win when they play host to IFK Norrköping on Thursday evening.
Losing hasn't been part of Elfsborg in recent weeks. Oscar Hiljemark's side go into Thursday's game on a five-match unbeaten run, registering three wins against Goteborg, Halmstad and Gais, while two encounters ended in draws. However, Elfsborg remain outside the top three with a three-point gap from third-placed Djurgårdens who have a game in hand.
Norrköping meanwhile are winless in their last four league games (two defeats and two draws). Their last outing was a 1-1 draw with Hammarby at the Tele2 Arena, where they continued to struggle away from home. The Comrades boast just one from their last seven league games on the road and head coach Andreas Alm will be hoping for a change of fortunes this week.
Elfsborg vs IFK Norrköping Betting Tips: Elfsborg to win & Over 2.5 goals
While Elgsborg have been very good on home soil across all competitions this season, they have a defence that needs fixing and I think Norrkoping will be able to take advantage of that.
The hosts didn’t finish any of their last four Allsvenskan games at the Boras Arena without conceding, shipping a total of five goals and none of those encounters ended with less than 2.5 goals.
Speaking of porous defences, Noorkoping can't be left out of the equation as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six games in all competitions. Andreas Alm’s men conceded two or more goals in half of those encounters, with bets on over 2.5 goals losing only once in that spell.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Elfsborg vs IFK Norrköping prediction: 2-1

Elfsborg team news
Elfsborg had a spell last month that they just couldn’t finish a game without conceding a red card, but that is behind them right now and head coach Oscar Hiljemark doesn’t have any suspended players in his squad.
