Orgryte IS
- 16th-placed Orgryte IS will face a real test against Allsvenskan 2026’s big boys this Friday when they play host to 4th-placed IF Elfsborg.
- Andreas Holmberg’s men have taken just 5 points from their first 9 league matches of their first season in the Allsvenskan since 2009.
- Last Saturday’s 2-0 loss to relegation strugglers Sirius followed the 2-3 and 2-0 defeats they suffered against IFK Goeteborg and Halmstads BK at the end of May.
- Holmberg has set his side up to be compact in a 3-4-1-2 formation with three central defenders and aggressive wing-backs that he has been able to rely on to provide the platform for quick vertical transitions.
IF Elfsborg
- IF Elfsborg are unbeaten in 5 league games (W1, D4) and have been more solid on their travels, taking 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat from 4 away matches in Allsvenskan 2026.
- Bjoern Hamberg has been doing a good job so far in Elfsborg and deserves great credit for getting them to 4th place in the table with 17 points from their opening 10 matches.
- It hasn’t all been perfect for the away side, however, as 4 of their last 5 league games have ended in draws.
- They have conceded 5 goals in their 4 away games in Allsvenskan 2026.
Head-to-Head
Elfsborg haven’t won at Orgryte IS in their last trip to the home ground.
Key Players
- Tobias Sana has been their driving force in midfield, providing 4 assists in the Allsvenskan 2026 so far, but only Anton Andreasson has the pace to exploit the space that he creates.
- Anton Andreasson has 2 goals in the league so far.
- Elfsborg’s Leo Oestman is in red-hot form and has been the difference between the visitors and the opposition in recent weeks, scoring 4 of the club’s last 6 goals.
- He has 4 to his name in 10 Allsvenskan 2026 matches.
Prediction
This looks a better fixture for them in 2026 and they should have too much quality to pass up the opportunity to take all 3 points against such poor opponents.
