Elfsborg expected to beat Varberg this weekend
Elfsborg started their trip to Norrkoping really promisingly, taking the lead through an own goal from Eid in the 12th-minute and doubling their advantage through Alm in the 39th-minute. However, Norrkoping pulled a goal back before the break and went on to equalise in the second half, meaning that Elfsborg missed out on their chance to secure a decent away win.
Elfsborg Predicted Lineup: Rönning, Larsson, Väisänen, Jarjué, Zandén, Söderberg, Olsson, Boateng, Ondrejka, Frick & Alm
Varberg were away at Djurgarden last time out at the Tele2 Arena. The game started badly for the visitors as Djurgarden took the lead after just 10-minutes and it gradually got worse from then on. The hosts doubled their lead 10-minutes before the break and made it 3-0 in the 67th-minute. Djurgarden added a fourth goal 11-minutes from time to wrap up a very easy 3pts.
Varberg Predicted Lineup: Andersson, Lindner, Zackrisson, Stanisic, Birkfeldt, Mensah, Le Roux, Winbo, Karlsson, Boman & Johansson
