On the 25th of April, in this week 5 match, Elfsborg will host GIF Sundsvall at Borås Arena in a clash of the Allsvenskan. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Elfsborg is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Helsingborg. Taha Ali scored the first goal for Helsingborg in the 25th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Elfsborg couldn’t manage to score, and Helsingborg took the shutout win. Elfsborg is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 13th placed GIF Sundsvall, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Kalmar. Pontus Engblom struck first for GIF Sundsvall in the 90th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Kalmar was frustrated by GIF Sundsvall’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. GIF Sundsvall ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10.
