Match preview

IF Elfsborg welcome Degerfors IF to Borås for matchday 19 of the Allsvenskan, with both clubs operating at opposite ends of the standings. The hosts sit in 5th place with 28 points from 18 matches, entering this fixture on a positive run of form that includes four victories and a draw in their last five outings across all competitions. Elfsborg have established a dependable foundation on their home ground, posting four wins and three draws from nine league fixtures while remaining consistent in attack.

Degerfors IF, by contrast, occupy 14th position in the relegation playoff spot with 16 points from 18 matches. The visitors have struggled for consistency over the campaign, accumulating 10 league defeats and conceding 29 goals overall. Away from home, Degerfors have been beaten five times in nine matches, conceding 15 goals (1.7 per match) and failing to score in four of those road fixtures.

Head-to-head history also tilts toward the hosts, with Elfsborg having won the previous league encounter between these two sides 1-0 in April 2026. While Elfsborg must navigate absences including the suspended S. Olsson and injured P. Frick, Degerfors also travel without defender J. Pikkarainen due to a knee injury.

Degerfors IF have failed to find the net in 4 of their 9 away matches in the Allsvenskan and 8 of 18 overall, averaging only 0.9 goals per game on their travels. With Elfsborg conceding just 1.0 goal per game at home and keeping three clean sheets in Borås, there is a clear pathway to at least one side being held scoreless, echoing their 1-0 meeting earlier in the season.

In contrast, Degerfors have suffered 10 defeats in 18 league games and lost 5 of 9 on the road, making the home double chance a well-supported, risk-managed selection.

No — 64% confidence

Degerfors IF have failed to find the net in 4 of their 9 away matches in the Allsvenskan and 8 of 18 overall, averaging only 0.9 goals per game on their travels. With Elfsborg conceding just 1.0 goal per game at home and keeping three clean sheets in Borås, there is a clear pathway to at least one side being held scoreless, echoing their 1-0 meeting earlier in the season.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and both teams to score), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
