The season of the three major Nordic leagues has just begun, and in view of the large changes in the personnel of each team, coupled with external factors such as tactical running-in, climate and venue conditions, the strength comparison has changed greatly from last year. It is important to combine the changes in personnel and the form of the teams on the field, as well as the uncertainty that comes with encounters at the beginning of the season. In this regard, teams in the middle and lower reaches need to pay special attention. Today's match selected by the Nordic Travelers for everyone is Elfsborg, the biggest dark horse of the Swedish Super League last season, at home against the traditional middle and lower team Sirius. This match fully demonstrated the above-mentioned factors that affect the outcome of the game, and listen to me slowly.
Swedish Super Round 6
[13] Elfsborg vs Sirius[9]
Time: 01:00, April 30
Sirius
Elfsborg was the biggest dark horse of the Swedish Premier League last season, and they were three points ahead of Malmo before the final round. The final round of the championship decided to lose 1-0 away to Malmo, and they were runners-up on goal difference. The team sold its main goalkeeper Valdi Mason, midfielder E. Boateng, forwards Gudjohnsen, Belhardsson and the team's golden boot O'Kels in the winter, and lost almost the entire central axis. The team stopped in the group stage of the Swedish Cup in the new season, although the league started with 1 win and 1 draw against the two weak teams, and then was beaten back to its original form and suffered 3 consecutive defeats, and was beaten 4-2 by Norrköping in the last round.
The visitors finished sixth last season, and in the winter window, they also sold two goalscorers Alli and Matthews, who scored 10 goals each last season, and almost two-thirds less attacking power in attack. In addition, the main midfielders Kemps and Bijárna Asson also left. Sirius' attacking power has plummeted in the new season, and Persson, who also scored 10 goals last season, has not yet scored anything, and the attack can only rely on Danish striker Salech, who signed from Brondby.
Sirius also exited the group stage of the Swedish Cup, with a winning streak but no wins in the last three games, and one more away player in the last round still couldn't beat Brummapokana. Sirius have been weak defensively lately, conceding just four goals in their opening five games, but have only scored one goal in their last three games. On the contrary, Elfsborg have a decent attack, scoring 3 goals in the last 3 games, but conceding as many as 8 goals. Elfsborg have home advantage and a reasonable home half, but given the visitors' defensive prowess, beware of encounters where the visitors pick up points. It is expected that it will be difficult to hand over more goals in this campaign. Expected scores are 1-1, 0-1.
