Elfsborg vs Goteborg PREVIEW & PREDICTION 09/07/2020

On Thursday evening, from 17:00, Elfsborg and Goteborg meet in Boras, in the semifinals of the Swedish Cup. It is a balanced duel, as illustrated by the odds from Fortuna, and the current form of the two teams recommends a quality match, with goals and a show.

In the championship, Elfsborg is on the 5th place after the first 6 stages (goal difference 6-4) and managed two victories and four draws this season! Instead, Goteborg is on the 9th place (goal average 8-9), with a balanced balance: two successes, two draws and two failures in the first six matches. It is the beginning of the season in Sweden, but the two teams have started to be developed with physical shape and that is why we expect a good rhythm in such a game, with high stakes.

Elfsborg comes after a big victory with Malmo (1-0), in the championship, after receiving a goal in the previous four games, including a 7-1 with Hacken, in the Cup. Gothenburg comes after a failure on the field of the leader Norrkoping (1-3), after beating AIK Solna (1-0), at home.

In 5 of Goteborg’s last 6 matches both teams have scored and this type of bet should be the winner again in Swedish football. However, the statistics show us an interesting aspect: in the last 3 direct duels we have witnessed victories at zero, without “GG”. It’s time to balance this statistic!

-Elfsborg has two consecutive victories in direct duels with Gothenburg: 1-0 and 2-0;
-In 7 of the last 10 direct duels, since 2015, both teams have scored;
-In the quarterfinals of the Swedish Cup, Elfsborg beat Hacken (2-1), and Goteborg beat Hammarby (3-1 after extra time);
-Elfsborg is undefeated at home this season: two draws and one win;
-Gothenburg has a win, a draw and a failure in 3 away games (goal average 5-6);


PREDICTION: Elfsborg to win @ 2,16
