2.59Tip and bets
Eflsborg plays attacking football and this approach brings results – the “yellows” win regularly and are in excellent shape. Rijeka has minimal chances of playing reliably in defense in Sweden against such an opponent, but the “former” will probably also take risks, a goal from the visitors will not be a big sensation.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.69
Bet on the outcome
Elfsborg are in excellent form and have won eight of their last 10 matches – they could have won in Croatia, but a sending-off prevented them. It is obvious that the Yellows will be even more aggressive and motivated at home – Rijeka are still far from their best form and are unlikely to avoid defeat.
The bet is for Elfsborg to win. This bet is offered at 1.95
Bet on corners
Elfsborg are the favourites and will clearly play first – the home team should win confidently on corners.
The bet is Elfsborg win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.69
