Sep 18th features a match where Elfsborg will host Sirius at Borås Arena in a meeting of these two evenly matched Allsvenskan teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Elfsborg is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against GIF Sundsvall. Michael Baidoo struck first for Elfsborg in the 6th minute, then Michael Baidoo added another in the 41st minute on a penalty shot In the end, GIF Sundsvall was frustrated by Elfsborg’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Elfsborg ended the match with the shutout victory. Elfsborg is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while sirius is fresh off their 2-3 loss against Värnamo. Abdussalam Magashy scored the first goal for Värnamo in the 37th minute, then Marcus Antonsson added another in the 42nd minute on a feed from Larsson. Sirius looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
In their last match on Saturday May 14th, Sirius was victorious by a score of 2 to 0 in front of just over five thousand jubilant fans. Christian Kouakou struck first for Sirius in the 56th minute, then Aron Bjarnason added another in the 63rd minute on a feed from Laorent Shabani At the end of 90 a dissapointed Elfsborg couldn’t manage to score, and Sirius took the shutout win.
Tashreeq Matthews and Jakob Voelkerling-Persson are the top scorers for Sirius in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Elfsborg is fortunate enough to have Michael Baidoo in top form. In the last five matches the defender has scored five goals.
