The upcoming Allsvenskan match at Guldfågeln Arena on Sunday will feature Kalmar FF hosting IF Elfsborg. This clash between the two teams promises to be an exciting encounter as both sides have been performing well this season. Previews, possible starting 11, expert tips, and odds are provided below.

WWDWD

Kalmar will be aiming to bounce back from their recent draw as they face a tough challenge against Elfsborg in the upcoming Allsvenskan match on Matchday 14. Despite a slow start to the season, Kalmar has shown improvement and is currently undefeated in their last five matches. Sitting in fifth place in the league table, they will be eager to secure their fifth home victory of the campaign.

However, Kalmar will be without defender Lars Saetra due to suspension, which could pose a challenge to their defensive stability. Additionally, midfielder Carl Gustafsson is a doubt for the match and will undergo assessment before the game.

In terms of transfers, Kalmar have been relatively quiet in the summer window, with Jacob Trenskow being their only signing so far. While Trenskow had a decent record in the second Danish league, it remains to be seen how quickly he can make an impact in the Allsvenskan.

WWDWW

Elfsborg will enter the match against Kalmar as strong contenders for the title this season. With an impressive 32 points from 13 league matches, they are just two points behind the league leaders, Malmo. Having remained unbeaten in their last 12 matches, Elfsborg will be brimming with confidence.

In their previous game, Elfsborg secured a convincing 2-0 home victory against Hammarby, further solidifying their strong form. However, they will be without the services of Jacob Ondrejka, who recently departed the club to join Antwerp. Ondrejka had been instrumental for Elfsborg, contributing seven goals and five assists in 12 matches this season. His absence will undoubtedly be felt, and it will be a challenge for the team to fill the void left by his departure.

Elfsborg will likely adopt an attacking approach in their clash against Kalmar as they aim to overtake Malmo at the top of the table. While Camil Jebara has been brought in as a replacement for Ondrejka, his impact may take time to fully materialize, especially considering his previous experience in the second tier of Swedish football.

Additionally, Elfsborg will be without Andre Romer, who is suspended for the upcoming game. His absence will be a blow to the team, but they will have to rely on their strong squad depth to overcome his absence and continue their impressive run in the league.

Kalmar FF - Ricardo Friedrich, Axel Lindahl, Rasmus Sjöstedt, Elias Olsson, Davíd Kristján Ólafsson, Robert Gojani, Romario Pereira Sipiao, Nahom Girmai Netabay, Simon Skrabb, Mileta Rajovic, Deniz Hummet.

Elfsborg - Hakon Valdimarsson, Johan Larsson, Sebastian Holmen, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Niklas Hult, Ahmed Qasem, Michael Baidoo, Emmanuel Boateng, Jeppe Okkels, Sveinn Aron Gudjohnsen, Alexander Bernhardsson.

Both sides are in good shape, so I expect them to find the back of the net in this clash, but the visitors look ready for yet another win.
