Malmo FF vs. IF Elfsborg Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Malmo FF and IF Elfsborg, taking place on Monday, 07 April 2025, at Eleda Stadion in Malmö.
Malmo FF, Recent Form
Malmo FF enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 away win over Djurgardens IF last time out in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Djurgardens IF, who had 17 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Manager Henrik Rydström 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.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
Goalscorer Hugo Bolin will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Malmo FF.
IF Elfsborg, Recent Form
A point gained from their 2-2 draw against Mjallby AIF in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for IF Elfsborg. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Mjallby AIF who had 11 attempts and 4 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Oscar Hiljemark will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Simon Hedlund will be hoping to create problems for Malmo FF in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for IF Elfsborg.
