Malmo vs Elfsborg prediction, preview, team news and more | Allsvenskan 2023-24

The Swedish Allsvenskan returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Malmo and Elfsborg go head-to-head at the Eleda Stadium on Tuesday. Jimmy Thelin’s men have lost their last four games on their travels and will head into the game looking to end this dry spell.

Malmo turned in a five-star performance as they cruised to a 5-0 victory over Kalmar at the Eleda Stadium last Friday.

Henrik Rydstrom’s men have won all but one of their last four matches, with a 2-2 draw against Hacken on May 20 being the only exception.

With 28 points from 11 matches, Malmo currently sit at the top of the Allsvenskan table, three points above second-placed Djurgarden.

Elsewhere, Elfsborg made it four home wins on the bounce last time out when they edged out Halmstad 2-0 at Borås Arena.

While Thelin’s men have been rock-solid at home, they have struggled for results on the road, where they are currently on a four-game losing run.

Elfsborg have picked up 16 points from 11 matches to sit seventh in the league table but could move into fourth place with all three points on Tuesday.
