Elfsborg take on the visitors Hacken in the round 14 of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Sunday, June 6th at Borås Arena (Borås).
Elfsborg have, in some ways, become victims of their own success. Last summer, they surprisingly made it through to the main round of the Europa League, which drained significant energy and resources, resulting in a 7th-place finish in the Allsvenskan. Under the new calendar, the final stages of European competition took place in January, disrupting their usual rest and pre-season rhythm. Nevertheless, they started the new league campaign strongly, winning two-thirds of their opening matches. Their run of victories in May was halted only by an ambitious Hammarby side. After the summer break, they resumed with a goalless draw against Värnamo—a match they dominated but failed to convert, effectively dropping two points. Elfsborg have lost just one of their last seven league matches, showing consistency, but they’ve struggled at home with only two wins in their last five at Borås Arena.

Häcken have had decent results—just not in the league. The “Wasps” have only one league title to their name, won in 2022, but they’ve been more consistent in knockout tournaments. They lifted the national cup for the fifth time in the last edition, despite finishing mid-table in the league with 42 points, placing 8th. This season, Jens Gustafsson’s men are delivering similar mid-level performances. They’ve sold promising Senegalese defender Ahamadou Diambo Faye to Bayer Leverkusen in June—a solid financial move, but one that weakens an already shaky backline. Häcken have more losses than wins and have conceded more goals than they’ve scored. Their defensive fragility was evident again in the last round when they suffered a 1-3 defeat to GAIS, despite being favorites. The team has now gone three matches without a win and has the second-worst away defensive record in the league.
Last season, these two sides exchanged away victories. Elfsborg have their share of issues, but if there’s ever a time to win, it’s in a home match like this. We’ll take the risk and back the Elegants to claim a home victory.
Prediction for the match: Elfsborg to win with 0.0 handicap.
