I am very confident ........


.... that Elfsborg can put theirselves back into pole position, in the race for the Championship, when they travel to Gothenburg and a match with Hacken tonight.

With leaders AIK facing tough derby games against fellow challengers, Djurgardens and Hammarby, in the next 7 days, the team from Boras will never have a better opportunity to win their first title for 45 years.

After GAIS they have home ties with Orgryte and Oster, so 3 in a row against sides firmly entrenched in the relegation zone. The ball is definitely in their court.

Hacken look booked for Superettan, they have only won twice all season and their record at the Rambergsvallen is even worse, at home they have collected only 2 points from a possible 27.
Defensively, they are poor and have given up more goals than any other team in the division and a whopping 22 in the last 10.

Due to their dire league situation, they have to go for the win and that should play into the visitors hands. Comfortable on the road, Elfsborg remain the only unbeaten away side in Allsvenskan. They will travel with confidence, as they have "owned" this fixture in recent times, with 6 wins and 5 draws in the last 11 meetings.

The Yellow Ones should collect the points.

5 points Elfsborg -1/2 ball asian line 1.85.

Good Luck.
