Elfsborg Sheriff betting prediction

This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 12 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Sheriff has won 2, tied 1 and lost 7. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 7 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The team led by Yuriy Gura enters this match demotivated after a 0-1 home defeat to Elfsborg in the first leg of this Europa League qualifying round. The visiting team usually plays in a 5-2-3 formation, favoring a more offensive style of play and attacking through the central areas of the pitch. In this setup, the three forwards are expected to be Cedric Badolo, Ayyoub Allach, and João Paulo. For this European match, the Sheriff coach will likely be without right-back Tyler Reid, who is currently recovering from an injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Rashed Al-Tumi, Jocelin Behiratche, Nana Kwame Boakye, Alesio Mija, Ilounga Pata, Matheus Guilherme Lins de Almeida, Cedric Badolo, Moussa Kyabou, João Paulo Fernandes, Ayyoub Allach, Ajak Riak.
Coach: R. Bordin.
