Elfsborg
- Elfsborg are one of the most interesting teams in Sweden right now in that they have been playing a very proactive game, with a free-flowing style that allows them to change shapes and overload the wings with great success.
- In their most recent outing, they drew 2-2 at home with Malmo FF before falling to a 2-0 defeat away to GAIS in what could influence our IF Elfsborg vs Degerfors IF prediction.
Degerfors
- Degerfors bounced back from a disappointing 0-1 home defeat to Mjallby AIF to beat IK Sirius FK 3-1 on their travels last time out, a result that could impact the latest IF Elfsborg vs Degerfors IF prediction.
- New boss Henok Goitom was recently appointed and has done a pretty good job of getting some structure back into the team after a season of turmoil and instability.
- Degerfors are a very basic team in terms of their approach, set up to be solid defensively and attack on the break or from set-pieces.
Head-to-Head
The hosts have been the dominant team in this fixture over the past few seasons, unbeaten in the last 5 meetings with 2 wins and 3 draws, winning the previous fixture 4-1 at home according to this IF Elfsborg vs Degerfors IF preview.
Key Players
- Marcus Rafferty - It seems like a smart move for a side who are battling for their lives, however, they still need their main goal-scorer Marcus Rafferty to keep it together for them as he has 6 Allsvenskan goals in 19 appearances, 2 of which have come in their last 5 games.
- Frederik Ihler & Julius Magnusson - Frederik Ihler is their most prolific attacker with 7 goals in 24 Allsvenskan appearances but Julius Magnusson has come to the fore recently, netting 2 of Elfsborg’s last 4 goals in their past 5 matches.
