On Thursday evening, Elfsborg will welcome the reigning Swedish champions, Mjallby, in the Allsvenskan. The hosts come into the game after a 1:1 draw with Halmstad, while Mjallby suffered a 1:0 defeat to Hacken in their previous match, although they had secured the Svenska Cupen title against Hammarby in the game before that.
Let's break down the game and find the best possible bet for this Allsvenskan tie.

Allsvenskan
These teams met twice last season, with Mjallby winning both matches - 2:0 at home and 2:1 on the road. Looking further back, over the past ten H2H games, Elfsborg won three times, while Mjallby won four times.
When it comes to the number of goals, three out of the past ten H2H games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in the same number of games (three).
Elfsborg team overview
Elfsborg came into this season after their worst one in the past six years. They had an atrocious end to the season, losing 8 of the past 10 games, which eventually led to such poor placement! Expectedly, they were nowhere near securing European Qualifiers and will be looking to change that this season. After the first eight rounds, the Yellow Ones are 4th with 15 points, just one point away from European spots, but already seven away from the first-placed Sirius. The main issue thus far has been their road performance, so these home matches are super-important.
Rasmus Wikstrom is the new name on the injury list. The 25-year-old defender missed the previous game against Halmstad and will most likely remain sidelined. Moreover, Ludvig Richtner and Per Frick should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Mjallby team overview
Mjallby had a historic last season, winning the Swedish title and pulling off one of the biggest upsets in Swedish football history. This season, the team from Hallevik hasn't been at a desired level as they are in 6th place in Allsvenskan with 13 points from the first eight rounds. Still, in the Svenskan Cup, they impressed once again and have already claimed one trophy by beating Hammarby 2:1.
Central defender Axel Noren received a red card in the previous game against Hacken and will serve his suspension. With him out, Tom Pettersson might get the opportunity to start. Also, midfielder Elliot Stroud suffered an injury in the previous game and is questionable for the upcoming one. He has arguably been their best player this season, and his (potential) absence could be a major factor.

Prediction
Elfsborg have been excellent for this type of bet, as both teams scored in four of their last five games. Moreover, they managed to score in all eight league games, while averaging 1.75 goals per game at Borås Arena. Therefore, we expect them to score at least once against Mjallby, which failed to keep its net intact in the past four games.
Meanwhile, Mjallby failed to score in the previous game against Hacken (1:0 loss), but we should note that they played the entire second half with 10 players. Before that match, they were amazing offensively, scoring 2+ goals in four games, and were probably the hottest team in the league.
The last two H2H (official) games at Borås Arena ended with both teams scoring. Considering all the above, we believe both teams will score at least once in this Allsvenskan tie.
3 Reasons why we should see both teams scoring
- Elfsborg have scored in all eight Allsvenskan games
- Both teams have scored in four of the past five of Elfsborg's games
- Mjallby have scored 2+ goals in four of the past five games
