- Venue: Eleda Stadion (Malmö)
On Monday evening, two of the best Swedish teams, Malmo and Elfsborg, will face off in the second round of Allsvenskan at Eleda Stadion in Malmo.
Malmo had a fantastic last year, winning both the domestic league and the Cup. This year, the goal for The Blue Ones is once again the same: to win both domestic competitions, and they are the bookies' primary favorite. The Blue Ones started the season great with a win over Djurgarden away from home in the first round. Additionally, they won all five Cup games and reached the Finals, where they will face Hacken at the end of May.
Elfsborg, meanwhile, had a pretty poor last season, finishing seventh - nowhere near European spots. Considering they were the vice champions in the season before, it was a massive failure. This year, the sixth-time Swedish champions are hoping for a much better outcome. Unfortunately, the Yellow Ones performed poorly in the Cup, with Malmo eliminating them in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, in the first round of the Allsvenskan, they drew 2:2 vs Mjallby.
Malmo vs Elfsborg pick: Malmo to win
Malmo started the season great, winning all six in a row, although a couple of them after ET. On the other hand, Elfsborg had a disappointing start. Their only wins in five games (four Cup and one Allsvenskan) were against lower-tier teams, Orgryte and Brage. But they have failed to win three games against Allsvenskan teams - Mjallby, Malmo, and Brommapojkarna.
In the first h2h game this season, in the Cup, Malmo won 1:0 after extra time. However, they completely dominated the match, having much more goal attempts and 63% ball possession. Additionally, Malmo won five of the last six h2h games at Eleda Stadion.
Considering all the above, we believe that the hosts are much closer to winning the upcoming Allsvenskan tie.
