In 9 of their last 10 away matches, Häcken have seen over 2.5 goals, which points to high-scoring games when this side plays on the road. Their average away record stands at 2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match. Elfsborg, however, concede an average of just 0.75 goals per home game, which somewhat reduces confidence in the high-scoring scenario. That said, the trend in Häcken's away matches makes Total Goals - Over 2.5 worth considering at odds of 1.3*.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The friendly nature of this match means both teams can think less about the result and take more risks going forward. Matches involving Swedish clubs tend to be open affairs at the best of times, and cautious tactics make even less sense here. Elfsborg are in good form, and Häcken also have enough attacking quality to support a high-scoring outcome. Our bet is therefore Total Goals - Over 3. Predicted score: 2-2.
