Mjallby Double Chance
We're backing the hosts to avoid defeat on Sunday just as they have done in four of their last seven league meetings with Elfsborg. Mjallby claimed a 2-0 win when these two sides locked horns in April and the hosts head into Sunday's clash on the back of three wins from their last five league games. Elfsborg have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions but did manage to secure an impressive 4-4 draw with Hacken last time out.
Both Teams to Score
This is a game that could treat us to goals at both ends of the pitch. Both teams have scored in four of Mjallby's last six outings in the Allsvenskan while four of Elfsborg's last six matches in league and cup have also seen both teams score, adding plenty more weight to our prediction.

An own goal from Hammar put Elfsborg in front after just 5-minutes but Hack got back onto level terms 2-minutes later. A minute after being pegged back, Elfsborg retook the lead thanks to a goal from Alm and led 2-1 at the interval.
An own goal from the unfortunate Vaisanen brought the scores to two goals apiece and moments later, Hacken took the lead for the first time in the match. Elfsborg responded well though and 4-minutes later Guojohnsen equalised. there was a brief quiet spell in the match but the goalscoring wasn't over as Jeremejeff fired Hacken in front with just 7-minutes left on the clock. Elfsborg mustered up one last attack in the 88th-minute and Ondrejka made himself the hero, securing a 4-4 draw for the home side.
Elfsborg Predicted Lineup – Rönning, Hult, Larsson, Holmén, Väisänen, Ondrejka, Boateng, Baidoo, Alm, Guðjohnsen & Okkels
