IF Elfsborg

Betting Insights
- Djurgårdens IF are the clear favourites for this game, priced at 1.67.
- Elfsborg are 4.56 and the draw is 3.95.
- 5 straight wins for Djurgårdens should give them all the confidence they need to go into this match looking to win, but they face a very capable side in Elfsborg, who have a mixed recent form of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in their last 5 matches.
Prediction
- With the H2H and recent records in mind, a Djurgården win looks the most likely outcome, though I am going for the safer Djurgården draw no bet.
- Djurgårdens controlled style should be a good match for Elfsborg's physical and counter attacking style, so I am expecting a tight match.
