GAIS finished third in the Allsvenskan last season to secure a place in the Conference League qualifiers.

Fredrik Holmberg's side endured a disappointing start to the 2026-27 campaign, failing to win any of their opening five league matches and losing three of them.

However, they have gradually found their rhythm and have suffered just one defeat in their last seven outings.

The Mackerels head into this fixture on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Brommapojkarna.

Elfsborg finished eighth in the Allsvenskan last season, but they have made a strong start to the current campaign, despite their recent dip in form.

Bjorn Hamberg's side have suffered just two league defeats this season, the latest being a 2-1 loss to Hammarby.

Elfsborg have won only once on the road this term, although they have drawn three of their five away matches, scoring seven goals in the process.

The Yellow Ones are winless in their last five outings, with four of those matches ending in frustrating draws.

Whispers predicts: GAIS 1-1 Elfsborg

GAIS head into this fixture as slight favourites thanks to their home advantage and improved recent form, with the hosts priced at 10/11 (1.91) to claim all three points.

However, Elfsborg have lost just once away from home this season and could be worth backing to earn a draw at 12/5 (3.40).

Three of Elfsborg's last five matches have finished 1-1, while two of GAIS's recent outings have produced the same scoreline, making a correct score of 1-1 at 6/1 (7.0) an appealing option.
