Halmstad - Elfsborg predictions

It would take a small miracle for the hosts to get to a stalemate this match, let alone win somehow. A quick look at the 5.80 price for a home win should be enough to tell you that, though.

The visiting side should be able to achieve victory in this clash against Halmstad. Elfsborg are favourites to claim three points and at 1.57 betting odds they are a good pick for any sensible punter.

Halmstad’s previous Allsvenskan match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Mjällby . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 6.42. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:1 result before the end.

Elfsborg barely managed to avert losing their last Allsvenskan away game by equalising in the second half. It’s not an ideal ending considering the 2.35 odds they had to win going in, but one point is certainly better than one.

The first step Halmstad need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Elfsborg fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

The price of 1.57 for an away win is at least in part based on how the two squads performed the last time they played against each other. Elfsborg ended that match with a notable goal difference, though this record is from the previous season of the Allsvenskan.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
