We have four Allsvenskan games on Saturday to start the action this weekend, and included in those is this game from Goteborg. The home side haven't started things well this season, and they welcome Elfsborg for this one, a team who are in the middle of the table, after a fairly decent start.
Goteborg Form GuideJust above the relegation zone as we head into the weekend, there's work to be done at Goteborg. From their opening 11 games, they have 11 points on the board, with three wins and two draws to get those. One point above the relegation places, but just four off 9th, things are tight and they'll want to use that to their advantage while they can.
They come here on the back of a defeat though, which came on Monday, and it was a big one too. They lost 5-2 away from home against AIK. Before that, a win, which was a narrow one, a 1-0 home success over Mjallby.
Elfsborg Form GuideI'm struggling to get a grip on Elfsborg at the moment. With five wins, six losses and one draw, they've been inconsistent and when you look at their games, they've won unexpectedly at times, but also lost unexpectedly too. There's definitely potential here, and given they're just two points off 5th, they could rapidly improve their league position, with a little more consistency.
They come here on the back of a loss on Tuesday night, but it was a narrow one, and it did come against current league leaders Malmo 2-1, so they didn't really lose anything their. Before that, a 2-0 home win over Halmstad, which was a good one, coming just over a week ago.
Match PredictionWhile Elfsborg haven't shown enough consistency for my liking just yet, in parts they have been very good, and for that reason, they are my pick to win this game. Goteborg are not showing too much right now, and need to improve, I think this will be a step too far for them.
