The two sides also have a recent history: back in May, the managers had a heated argument right on the touchline.

Editor's Pick
The trends converge on one point: Mjällby have not won in 9 of their last 10 matches, Elfsborg in 7 of their last 8. In head-to-head meetings the picture is the same: the hosts have not beaten the visitors in 7 out of 8 cases.
Both sides look likely to score, though. Mjällby have conceded in 8 of their last 9 league matches, while Elfsborg have conceded away from home in 15 of 16. They score regularly too: the visitors have found the net in 17 of 18 matches, and the hosts rarely leave their own ground without a goal either. That said, we are not expecting a goal fest - in 18 consecutive matches at Strandvallen the total has not reached four goals, and Makedontsi rarely referees games with four goals. The bet is both teams to score (yes). Predicted score - 1:1.
