Elfsborg - Kalmar predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Kalmar may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Kalmar fans are expecting them to triumph at Elfsborg this Monday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Elfsborg were the underdogs in their last Allsvenskan outing with 2.86 betting odds slapped to their name. The bookies and punters alike must have been well surprised to see them hold their ground after the first half but the predictions came true as Elfsborg were heavily defeated at the end (Hammarby).

Kalmar unexpectedly kept up with the visiting team, IFK Göteborg, in their previous home game. However, they stumbled towards the end and had to contend with a narrow 0:1 defeat.

Kalmar’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 6 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

Elfsborg already won against Kalmar this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

Monday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.70, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
