GAIS vs. IF Elfsborg Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between GAIS and IF Elfsborg, taking place on Sunday, 19 May 2024, at Gamla Ullevi in Göteborg.
GAIS, Recent Form
The 1-0 away defeat to Malmo FF will not have sat easily with the GAIS squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 28% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Malmo FF who had 20 attempts and 8 on target.
Manager Fredrik Holmberg will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Alexander Ahl-Holmström will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in GAIs' last 6 league games.
IF Elfsborg, Recent Form
The last league instalment for IF Elfsborg produced a stunning 6-1 home win over AIK. In that game they recorded 32 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 16 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Simon Hedlund will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for IF Elfsborg.
