Malmo vs Elfsborg Prediction and Betting Tips | April 7th 2025

The Swedish Allsvenskan returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Malmo and Elfsborg go head-to-head on Monday. Oscar Hiljemark’s men have failed to win their last 13 visits to the Eleda Stadium since 2014 and will be looking to end this 11-year spell.

Jens Stryger Larsen gave Malmo a dream start to the 2025 Allsvenskan campaign as he netted the only goal of the game to inspire them to a 1-0 victory over Djurgarden last Saturday.

Henrik Rydstrom’s side had kicked off the Swedish calendar year with a solid cup campaign, picking up five straight victories, including wins over Elfsborg and Goteborg en route to booking a spot in the final.

Malmo come into the new season looking to replicate their 2024 run, where they picked up 65 points from their 30 games to secure their 28th league title.

As for Elfsborg, they finished the 2024 league campaign seventh in the table after picking up 35 points from their 30 matches. Hiljemark’s men kicked off the new season on a positive note as they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Mjallby last Sunday.

While Elfsborg will look to get their season up and running on Monday, they have failed to win their last 13 trips to the Eleda Stadium since October 2014.
