Match Time & Date:

19:00
Prediction: 2-0
Elfsborg
Malmo will be aiming to build on a thrilling 5-0 win over Kalmar when they take on Elfsborg in the Allsvenskan round 17. The title holders are eager to retain top position in the standings and the bookies see them as hot favourites to win the midweek clash. All Gudjohnsen, Holmquist Vecchia, Lewicki, and Moisander remain on the sidelines with injuries. Elfsborg, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels.
As Jimmy Thelin’s men are on a four-game losing run on the road, we predict that Malmo are going to pick up all three points from Tuesday’s encounter. As for the away team, talented forward Jalal Abdullai is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 2-0 win over Halmstadt, while defender Niklas Hult remains in the recovery room. In their last meeting at Eleda Stadion Malmo defeated Elfsborg thanks to Isaac Kiese Thelin’s goal.
Highlighted Player (Martin Olsson):
Martin Olsson is an experienced Swedish defender who has spent his entire professional career up to date in England. The left-sided defender came through the Hogaborgs BK academy, but he went on to join Blackburn Rovers before turning 18. Olsson quickly managed to nail down a regular starting berth at Ewood Park, and he made a total of 117 league appearances ahead of signing for Norwich City in the summer of 2013.
The Swedish left-back couldn’t help the Canaries avoid relegation to the Championship, but he featured in 45 league games as they secured a straight return to the elite division. Olsson was at times linked with top European clubs, but a big club move never materialised for him, although there is still time for him to make the next step.
Also capable of playing on the left wing, Olsson scored 5 goals in just over 30 outings for the Sweden national team, making three appearances at the Euro 2012 finals in Ukraine and Poland.
