Elfsborg host a Halmstad side rooted to the bottom of Allsvenskan, and the gap in quality is wide. The hosts have been strong at Borås, winning three home games in a row and conceding under a goal a game there, while Halmstad have not won away all season and have shipped two a game on their travels. Halmstad's chance creation is modest and they have failed to score in half of their last ten, but their defence has been leaking big chances, which suits an Elfsborg side that scores late and often. The visitors did hold Elfsborg to a draw in May, so a stubborn first half is possible before the hosts pull clear.

Match ResultHome Win71%

Elfsborg are fifth, unbeaten in their last two and strong at home, while Halmstad are bottom with no away win all season and a leaky defence. The visitors' squad is also worth considerably less.

Win or DrawHome or Draw89%

Elfsborg avoiding defeat is very likely given their home record and Halmstad's winless away season. Halmstad's draw at home in May is the main reminder that they can frustrate the hosts.

Total Goals3 or more goals60%

Elfsborg's home form brings goals and Halmstad concede about two a game away, so the match should go past 2.5 goals more often than not. Halmstad's own struggles in front of goal keep it from being a clear-cut call.
