Kalmar FF vs Elfsborg Prediction

Kalmar FF Form

Kalmar FF go into their upcoming match unbeaten in their previous three matches, which started off with a 1-1 draw against AIK. They went on to beat Degerfors 2-1, before sharing the spoils with Mjallby in a 1-1 draw. In their last six Allsvenskan home matches, Kalmar FF won four times. They've drawn once and lost once, while scoring 11 and conceding seven goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Kalmar FF might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Allsvenskan looks the most realistic scenario.

Elfsborg Form

Elfsborg look well suited to take on any opponent with seven points to show off from three matches. They started off drawing 1-1 with Djurgarden, before downing first AIK by 1-2, then Hammarby in a 2-0 win. In their last six Allsvenskan away matches, Elfsborg claimed a full handful of five wins. They've drawn once and lost none, scoring 11 whilst conceding six times.

Finishing inside the top half is the bare minimum Kalmar FF expect for this season, but the ideal target is a spot in Europe.

Are Elfsborg strong enough presently to justify the prices with the bookies, even when travelling to face Kalmar FF at Guldfaageln Arena? It could be tight, but considering form and match history, we believe the visitors represents the best betting option.
