Elfsborg take on the visitors Hammarby in the round 13 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Monday, June 3rd at Borås Arena (Borås).
Elfsborg are a quite well-known club by Swedish standards. In 2012, they won their 6th championship title in history, followed by a cup victory three years later, which was their 3rd in history. However, over the past decade, they haven't been able to replicate such success. They became the runners-up in 2020, but in the previous cycle, they only secured the 6th position. Currently, under the guidance of Jimmy Thelin, Elfsborg is considered one of the main contenders in the Swedish football championship. At the moment, they are only behind the main favorite, Malmo. It is worth noting that the championship started with less optimism, with a 0-2 loss to Hacken at their home ground and a goalless draw against Varberg. However, they then embarked on a winning streak that lasted for eight matches. They dropped points against Djurgarden, who managed to score a late equalizer. Nevertheless, they quickly bounced back and secured a victory against AIK, maintaining their position among the leaders.

Hammarby are based in the capital city. However, they were truly strong only once in the early 2000s. The team, founded in 1897, won their sole championship in the 2001 season. They subsequently achieved 2nd and 3rd place finishes but faced relegation at the end of that decade. Furthermore, they spent five consecutive years in the Superettan from 2010 to 2014. After their return, they also had notable successes, including their victory in the 2021 Swedish Cup, marking their first such trophy in history. They also finished in 3rd place in the Allsvenskan in 2019 and repeated the feat in the previous season. However, it is now clear that they are unable to replicate that result. The bronze medalist has dropped to the lower part of the table. They started with a 3-1 victory against Degerfors, but then suffered four losses in the next five matches. While they only lost once in the following seven rounds, they could only secure the modest 9th position.
In the previous season, the clubs exchanged home victories. The home team appears much more convincing than the visitors. It is recommended to bet on Elfsborg with a handicap of -1.0 goals without overcomplicating the prediction.
Prediction for the match: Elfsborg to win.
