vs

Vasteras SK FK

Preview

IF Elfsborg

• IF Elfsborg are 8th in Allsvenskan 2026 (21 points from 15 games).
• Elfsborg's form has been mixed, to say the least, over the past few weeks, with a loss at GAIS, a home defeat to IK Sirius FK and a 2-1 win at Malmö FF in their three most recent matches.
• At home in Allsvenskan 2026, Elfsborg's results have been mixed (W3, D3, L2) and their scoring rate of 11 goals per 15 games equates to a goal average of just 1.38.

Västerås SK FK

• Västerås SK FK are 7th (22 points), just 1 point above Elfsborg.
• Västerås have been much better, picking up 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from their last 5 matches in all competitions.
• Their most recent three matches read like a rollercoaster (0-0 draw at Mjällby, 2-0 home win over Örgryte FF, 6-0 loss away to Djurgården), so the ceiling is on show.

Head-to-Head

• Elfsborg have won 2 of the last 3 head-to-head matchups.
• Västerås were winless in their last away visit to the club and their earlier meeting this year finished in a 2-2 draw at Västerås' ground.

Key Players

• Arber Zeneli is the danger man with 4 goals in 12 matches and can provide a spark in transition.
• Mikkel Ladefoged is their danger man with 10 Allsvenskan 2026 goals in 14 games and can be the main man for them in this match.

Betting Insights

• The home side are only very slight favourites at 2.08, Västerås are 3.31 and the draw is 3.45.
• A safer alternative to the win markets is 'both teams to score', given the contrasting styles of these two teams should lead to an open game.

Prediction

• Elfsborg have been wobbling at home recently, losing both of their most recent Allsvenskan 2026 matches at the Boraas Arena.
• With Västerås in much better form, they can get a point at the very least here.
