Elfsborg and Malmö FF meet often enough that they should know each other's game well. The last time, in July, Elfsborg went away and won 2-1, but overall in the last six meetings Malmö FF still hold a slight edge. This time the two come in with very close league positions: Elfsborg have 41 points from 24 matches, while Malmö FF follow on 36 points. The situation in the table makes this game more worth watching than usual. Elfsborg have just thrashed a team 4-0 at home in the league, and before that they had been winning while picking up points steadily, though there is a visible flaw in that they still concede at home. Their last match against a side of similar level ended in a 2-2 share of the points. Malmö FF, meanwhile, have been far more up and down: a 4-1 win, then a 0-2 loss in the league back to back, before returning to winning in the cup and league again, only to lose 0-1 in their latest match, just as the hosts had just finished with a draw. This game is likely to open with both sides feeling each other out, since both dropped points in their last match. Elfsborg, as the home side, should be the ones with more of the ball and gradually opening up the game, while Malmö FF are likely to sit back and wait for the moment to counter at speed from midfield. If the hosts score first, the game will flow even more toward Elfsborg, but if the goal does not come, it could drag on into the second half.
