Elfsborg vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (3 October)

2nd in the last year in Sweden, this Elfsborg team had to go through several qualifying rounds to give themselves the right to compete in this Europa League where they had a difficult start last week. Indeed, they lost on the field of AZ Alkmaar 3-2, one of their opponents but the most difficult in their calendar. In their championship, the Swedes are not very well on their way to finishing on the podium since they are only 5th in the ranking with 4 points behind 3rd. Hung by Norrköping 2-2 then by Hammarby 0-0, Elfsborg was still able to move forward on Sunday against Kalmar 1-3. Roma, for its part, is much more used to defending its chances on the European scene than his opponent of the day can be.

6th in the last financial year in Serie A, the Louve club also reached the last four of this Europa League last year, beaten by Bayer Leverkusen. Last Thursday, the players of the Eternal City got off to a rather average start, sharing the points with a good Bilbao team 1-1. A performance consistent with what it has offered since the start of the season in Serie A where it is only in 9th position after 6 days. That said, Roma still has two wins against Udinese 3-0 and Venice 2-1.

Absent last week, the starting midfielder Jens Thomasen (spent with Nîmes for a season) will be present for this poster. However, this will not be the case for defender Holmen who will be suspended after being sent off at the end of the match last Thursday. Among the men to watch in this team, we can cite the names of the Ghanaian Michael Baidoo (10 goals, 5 assists in the league), Simon Hedlund (6 goals, 4 assists), the young Abdullai (5 goals), and the young talent of 21 years old midfielder, Qasem (5 goals, 4 offerings). Once again, Roma will have to do without summer recruits Le Fée and Saelemaekers who are still not recovered for this trip to Sweden.

After needing a little time to adapt, striker Dovbyk, very good last year with Girona, was able to score 2 goals in the last 3 days. He could start again this evening in the same way as the jewel Dybala (1 goal in SA) and the young French international Manu Koné who has delivered good performances since his arrival in Italy.
