IFK Norrkoping, Recent FormIFK Norrkoping will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against IFK Gothenburg, which ran out a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to IFK Gothenburg, who had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Andreas Alm will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 14 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
IF Elfsborg, Recent FormThe 2-1 home defeat to Kalmar FF will not have sat easily with the IF Elfsborg squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a 42% share of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Kalmar FF, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
With 4 wins from their last 6 away matches, they have put together an impressive run of form away from home recently.
Jalal Abdullai will be hoping to create problems for IFK Norrkoping in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for IF Elfsborg.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-2 win for IF Elfsborg.
Goals should be on the cards for Di Gule in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Norrkoping in their last 8 meetings together. When Elfsborg visit Kamraterna in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Elfsborg has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Norrkoping in 4 games.
With only Kristoffer Khazeni (Unknown) and Jacob Ortmark (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Andreas Alm will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Elfsborg manager Jimmy Thelin has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
