Borås Arena plays host to an Allsvenskan clash on Monday evening as Elfsborg welcome struggling IFK Värnamo to Boras.

Elfsborg team overview
Elfsborg comes into Monday's Allsvenskan contest in high spirits after picking up back-to-back Allsvenskan victories in the past fortnight.
Following a thrilling 4:3 win against Goteborg, Oscar Hiljemark's men claimed a 2:1 road win at Hacken last weekend. Elfsborg have now seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in three of their last four matches,
Placed third in the division, eight points behind surprise leaders Mjallby, Elfsborg remain in title contention as we head into the final stretch of the season. A solid home record has helped fuel their championship dreams, with six wins picked up in six games played at Borås Arena this season.
Head coach Hiljemark could make one or two changes to his selection this week. Arbër Zeneli and Ari Sigurpálsson are in contention for recalls after both made goalscoring substitute appearances against Hacken.

IFK Varnamo team overview
IFK comes into Monday's contest in dreadful form, with only eight points picked up from 18 Allsvenskan games played this season. Still bottom of the division, Varnamo find themselves six points short of safety with only 12 fixtures remaining.
Arne Sandsto's men did pick up a 2:2 draw against GAIS in their most recent fixture, but remain bottom of the pile, and in serious danger of relegation.
A dismal away record has seen Varnamo pick up just one point from eight Allsvenskan road games this season.
Head coach Sandsto is likely to retain faith in the same XI that picked up a point last weekend.
The visitors have no reported injury or suspension issues.
