Norrkoping – Elfsborg Prediction & Picks (23.07.2018)

In Round 14 of Allsvenskan, Monday, starting at 18:00, the Norrkoping-Elfsborg game will be played. The confrontation will take place on Ostgotaporten.

After a series of less successful evolutions, the hosts found their way to victory. In the previous round, they passed Hacken, in front of their fans, score 2-1. Thern and Johansson scored decisively in the 19th and 81st minutes respectively. At 36, Andreas Johansson scored for the second time in the last three stages. Moreover, the veteran midfielder has evolved in all the minutes this season. With this victory, Norrkoping keeps on the podium and continues the fight with AIK and Hammarby for leadership.

On the other hand, the guests were not as inspired in the confrontation with Hammarby. Although they enjoyed the fans, they did not manage to find their way to the opponent’s goal, ending in a draw, scoring 0-0. Issam Jebali could have won for his team but wounded a 11 meter kick in the 90th minute. Despite this draw, Elfsborg enjoyed a good period with three wins and two draws in the last five stages. Thanks to this move, he has gone to six points in the red zone of the classification and it seems that it will not be long before any emotion related to relegation will be forgotten.

The last direct encounter ended in undecided, 3-3. It was the second draw in the last seven straight games. During this time, Norrkoping did not impose once.
