IFK Varnamo, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for IFK Värnamo and Halmstads BK in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Halmstads BK's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have conceded at least one goal in 7 of their 10 games at Finnvedsvallen this season.
They've had a terrible run of form at Finnvedsvallen recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 6 of the first 10 league games at Finnvedsvallen.
Goalscorer Gustav Engvall will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for IFK Värnamo.
IF Elfsborg, Recent FormIF Elfsborg will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-2 home win against IFK Norrköping. They came away from that fixture with a 45% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 8 on target, in comparison to IFK Norrköping, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
He will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have recorded 10 clean sheets in their 21 games so far this season.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 games on the road. They will be very happy with their early away form this season, winning 7 of their 10 away league games.
Jeppe Okkels will be hoping to create problems for IFK Värnamo in this one, having scored 6 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for IF Elfsborg.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-0 win for IF Elfsborg.
The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between Värnamo and their rivals, Di Gule, the former have conceded at least one goal.
Elfsborg have been unbeaten the last 3 times they have faced Värnamo in the league.
With no real injury worries, Värnamo manager Kim Hellberg will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Alexander Bernhardsson (Foot) and Jens Thomasen (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jimmy Thelin will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
