Elfsborg - Värnamo predictions

Elfsborg are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.44, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Elfsborg and the 6.43 odds given to Värnamo to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

While the previous round ended in success for Elfsborg, their performance against Häcken can only be described as lukewarm. A 1:2 away win Is always welcome, though, even if it came after a stalemate which lasted for most of the game.

Värnamo were the 1.80 underdogs in their previous Allsvenskan matchup, despite facing GAIS on home ground. Still, their fans weren’t as disappointed as most predictions expected them to be. Records show that the match turned out to be an HT/FT draw – a success for Värnamo considering the lopsided odds.

Elfsborg have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Allsvenskan outings.

The last time these two teams clashed, Elfsborg were unable to carve out a conclusive victory and ended up with a tie. This previous match was last season, however, so it’s not the most recent of information, and they’re clearly marked as the favourites.

Monday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

An Under 3.5 Goals bet is an interesting choice for this match. It’s quite safe as you might expect, but the 1 odds offer more in the way of betting value than you would think.
