Elfsborg will be looking to register what will be only their second win of the 2024 Swedish top flight campaign when they host Sirius on Monday evening.
The hosts pushed Malmö all the way until the final matchday last season only losing the title on goal difference, something they were hoping to build on this season. Jimmy Thelin’s side haven’t quite been able to replicate that form unfortunately, with the team boasting just one win from the five games played so far.
Sirius meanwhile achieved their best finish in the Allsvenskan since 2017 last season and like their hosts the Blue and Blacks have not started the new campaign the way they would have liked. The visitors boast seven points from the five games played so far and enter Sunday’s game with a three match winless run.
Elfsborg vs Sirius Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Entertainment has been the major headline in the recent games of Elfsborg. Nine of the last ten games of the Yellow Ones ended with at least three goals and I fancy Monday’s game to have a similar ending.
Sirius conceded more goals than all the teams in the top half of the standings last season and that problem is yet to be resolved. The visitors are without a clean sheet in their last four matches and their defensive record against Elfsborg is equally very poor.
Christer Mattiasson’s side conceded at least three goals in two of the last three meetings with Elfsborg and are also without a clean sheet in their last four league games on the road.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Elfsborg vs Sirius prediction: 2-1

Elfsborg team news
Three of Elfsborg’s six goals so far this season in the Swedish top flight have come from Simon Hedlund.
The 31-year-old is expected to reunite in the final third with Per Frick and Arbër Zeneli who are yet to hit the back of the net this season.
Michael Baidoo who has two goals to his name so far this season missed the defeat to Norrkoping due to injury and is a doubt for Monday’s game.

Sirius team news
As far as Sirius are concerned, head coach Christer Mattiasson will continue to rely on the services of Yousef Salech who netted three times so far this season.
The Danish forward will be supported in the final third by the likes of Noel Milleskog and Melker Heier, while André Alsanati will continue the search for his first goal and assist of the season in the number ten role.
