Venue: Boras Arena.
MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Elfsborg are on a good run, having registered six games without a defeat and three straight home wins during which they conceded only once. They meet a team that likes to play attacking football but are inconsistent away from home.
Elfsborg are a side that always want to compete at the top of the table. A slow start this season seems to have killed any hopes of a league title, but they have started to climb up the rankings and a win here could see them move into a European qualification spot. Simon Lundevall was a revelation against Norrkoping last week and if he continues to play like that there will be offers from bigger leagues.It is also worth noting that Emir Bajrami scored his first goal of the season and if he can find the form that made him an international then Elfsborg will have a gem of a player.
Hammarby will have newcomers Mads Fenger and Jeppe Andersen available for this game and they will probably be involved in some capacity. However, they have only won one of the last five away from home and I think the home team will prevail again here.
Elfsborg vs Hammarby: Head-to-head
Hammarby are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Elfsborg, with 3 wins and 2 draws. The last two meetings alone produced 11 goals, with Elfsborg winning both matches by 4-1 and 4-2 score-lines.
Seven of the last Seven matches between the two sides saw over 2.5 goals.
Both teams scored in six of the last eight games.
At home, Elfsborg are unbeaten in the last five games against Hammarby, 3 wins and 2 draws.
Elfsborg vs Hammarby: Prediction
We could be in for a open game on Monday with both teams looking solid in the attacking front. So, the prime pick for the match will be both teams to score.
For full-time result, we believe Elfsborg are the team to back here. There excellent head-to-head record against Hammarby and current home form might prove too good for the visitors, who seem to struggle in away games.
