Elfsborg's recent form has been impressive, with a run of eight consecutive victories before their 1-1 draw with Djurgardens. During that winning streak, they scored 25 goals and kept four clean sheets. This solid run has propelled them to second place in the league table, just two points behind leaders Malmo.

Sitting in a promising position in the league, Elfsborg will see this match as an opportunity to overtake Malmo and claim the top spot. Their recent form and superior position in the standings make them the favorites to secure all three points.

The team has no new injury concerns, but defender Viktor Widell remains sidelined. With 26 goals scored and 9 goals conceded so far this season, Elfsborg have shown their attacking prowess while maintaining a solid defensive record.

Jacob Ondrejka has been a key contributor to their success, with 6 goals and 4 assists. However, he will be looking to end his goal-scoring drought of three games in the upcoming match.
