Elfsborg could find a way to snatch the points
This IFK Goteborg vs IF Elfsborg preview highlights that IFK Goteborg’s last two Allsvenskan matches were an away defeat to AIK of 3-0 followed by a home victory over IK Sirius FK by the same 3-1 scoreline.
Stefan Billborn took charge of the Blue-Whites on the 25th June 2024 and they have been more in control of their games, possessing the ball and not as open to the counter attack since he took over.
Their home record in Allsvenskan 2025 is three wins, one draw and three losses, which doesn’t make it the easiest place to go and find a result.
According to the latest IFK Goteborg vs IF Elfsborg odds, Goteborg average 1.29 goals per home game so far in Allsvenskan 2025, scoring nine in total, while Elfsborg concede an average of just 0.83 goals away from home in the same league, allowing just five goals in their six away trips to date.
Elfsborg are a high pressing 3-4-3 team who like to get at teams on the break and get their most dangerous players in front of goal with the minimum fuss.
It is a formula which has been working well under the stewardship of Oscar Hiljemark since he joined the club on 3rd June 2024.
However, they have found it tough to string wins together in the past few weeks and have failed to win their last two, 0-0 with Varnamo away and 2-0 loss at home to BK Hacken.
Hiljemark is yet to find the consistency his side needs
The Allsvenskan 2025 table shows Elfsborg sitting in fourth spot with 26 points from 14 games, IFK Goteborg are in seventh with 22. Max Fenger is the dangerman for the hosts, with eight goals in 14 Allsvenskan appearances and four goals in the club’s last ten league games. Elfsborg rely on the free-scoring Frederik Ihler, who has hit seven times in the Allsvenskan 2025 season, he is their focal point in attack.
Oscar Hiljemark has done a decent job since arriving at Elfsborg but the club haven’t been as consistent as they need to be to be a real contender. Our IFK Goteborg vs IF Elfsborg prediction reflects that IFK Goteborg have been a little more consistent and are a lot more comfortable in possession than Elfsborg. The contrast in style should make for a fascinating Allsvenskan matchup and the way Goteborg are playing, they should be able to hold out for a win here.
The Over 2 goals market is available at 1.36 which is very short for a fixture such as this, suggesting that both sides will create enough chances to score a couple of goals and it could be a lively affair on Saturday.
