Elfsborg are traditionally strong and productive at home. In four home matches this season, the team has won three and drawn one, scoring seven goals and conceding only two. The average goal-scoring rate at Borås Arena is 2.25 goals per game. Despite defensive losses, the hosts have consistently scored in nine of their last ten matches, creating an excellent basis for an over-all goal total.
The visitors from Mjällby are in excellent form and have demonstrated even more open play on the road. In four away league matches, they have scored five and conceded five, averaging 2.5 goals on the road.
Considering that both teams are near the top of the standings and are not inclined to play defensively, a high-scoring draw seems the most logical outcome. A bet on the over-all goal total is therefore worth considering, but we expect a goal to be exchanged.
