AIK vs Elfsborg Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview. 06-08-20
We conclude the 13th round of fixtures in the Swedish league on Thursday with five games to be played much to the delight of Swedish football fans. Our focus will be at the Friends Arena as AIK welcome Elfsborg. With the match slated for 17:00 GMT, both sides would want all three points for themselves.
AIK are currently struggling with inconsistency as they currently find themselves in 11th position after 12 games played, racking up 13 points on the board.
They would be looking to get back to winning ways after a goalless draw against Kalmar last time out. Patric Jildefalk is in desperate need of his strikers and creative midfielders to turn up with the team failing to find the back of the net in the last three matches.
The visitors, on the other hand, are currently in third place following their 3-3 draw against Sirius in their last match. Sirius went into the break with a 3-1 lead courtesy of goals from Stefano Vecchia, Elias Andersson, and Axel Bjoernstroem- Per Frick scoring Elfsborg’s only goal in the first half. Elfsborg drew level 18 minutes into the second half via Jesper Karlsson and Rasmus Alm strikes.
With the match ending 3-3, Jimmy Thelin would need to check out their defensive tactics as they’ve conceded six goals in the last two games. Although they don’t have any issues in front of goal, netting 12 goals in the last four matches.
AIK vs Elfsborg Prediction: 2-1
Both teams are currently in contrasting situations, with AIK having issues in front of goal while Elfsborg is finding it hard to keep out the opposition. However, over the last four seasons, AIK have beaten Elfborg at the Friends Arena, and we fancy history repeating itself with a narrow win for the hosts.
