IF Elfsborg vs Vasteras SK FK — Tips & Analysis

Over 2.5: Vasteras are the reason to expect goals here. Nine of their last 16 games had 3 or more, and their games average just over 3 goals in total. That is easily the busier of the two teams. Elfsborg have been the tighter side, letting in just over a goal a game, but that back line has been riding its luck. Over their last four games they gave up far more good chances than the scorelines showed. Vasteras are looser again on their travels. They let in more than 2 a game away from home and score just over one. They also arrive missing three first team players in M. Diallo, F. Nsabiyumva and J. Ring, on four days off against six for Elfsborg. That points to Elfsborg taking control and Vasteras still finding a goal, which is why 2-1 to the home side looks the most likely score. Three goals gets this home. The warning sits in the head to head. The last three meetings were tight, with just 2 goals a game between them, and Elfsborg won two of the three. Elfsborg are the quieter team for goals too, with only 7 of their last 16 games reaching 3. If they lead early and slow the game down, this can die out. We still think Vasteras carry enough to keep it moving.
