Elfsborg vs Paphos Prediction & Betting Tips (11 July)

The Swedish club Elfsborg has already started its championship well and the results are not those expected with an ultra-average 7th place and above all, six lengths behind on the podium, qualifying for the European elimination spots. Furthermore, the locals played last weekend, at home against Brommapojkarna, and after two successive defeats, they regained victory without being worried 3-0. As a reminder, Elfsborg finished runner-up in the elite last year behind Malmö, and thanks to this place, it obtained its ticket for these qualifications. On the other side of the median, we find the Cypriot club Pafos who has not returned to competition yet but is keeping fit through friendly matches.

The results are rather consistent and positive with three victories in a row against the Romanians of Universitatea Craiova 2-1, the Slovenes of Illirija 5-0 and against the Poles of Legia Warsaw 1-0 and a draw last time. against Panathinaikos 0-0. Clearly, the winner of the reigning Cyprus Cup will travel undefeated and owes his presence in these qualifiers, thanks to his coronation in the national cup since in the championship, he did not do better than 5th place.

Injured, the Danish midfielder Thomasen (ex-Nîmes, 8 appearances in the league) will be missing, like Enzo Andren (19 years old, not a match to his name this season), the Ghanaian Abdullai (2 goals in the league) or even Buhari (defender) all on the flank too. Top scorers for this team in the championship, Michael Baidoo (5 goals, 4 assists) and Simon Hedlund (5 pawns, 3 assists) will indeed be in the game, barring a last minute injury. Same case for Ahmed Qasem (4 goals, 2 assists).

Opposite, Pafos has managed for the moment to consolidate his two offensive talents from last year, the Brazilian Jairo (16 goals in the championship) and the Swede Tankovic (14 goals). The midfielders Dragomir and Valakari (5 goals each in the league last year) are also present alongside Bruno (3 goals last year) and David Goldar (3 goals), who played for Burgos and Celta Vigo in being young.
