LiontipsTottenham vs Elfsborg. Europa League match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Tottenham is failing the season in the Premier League, where after 23 rounds they are only in 15th place. It is obvious that against this background, the Europa League is now a clear priority for Spurs. They are doing very well here - 14 points scored in seven rounds, sixth place and an excellent chance to go straight to the 1/8 finals. A victory today guarantees the Londoners the fulfillment of their goal. In the previous round, they managed to beat Hoffenheim away with a score of 3:2, although before that there was a series of three matches without victories. It should be noted that Ange Postecoglou team is experiencing big problems with the squad, especially in the defense line, it is no coincidence that they failed to play to zero in the last four rounds of the LE. Plus, the coach does not have the opportunity to fully rotate the squad, which largely affected the last game in the Premier League - a 1:2 home defeat to Leicester.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vicario, Romero, van de Ven, Udoji, Spence, Maddison, Johnson, Werner, Odobert and Solanke are all out due to injury, with Richarlison appearance in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Tottenham four previous matches in all competitions have seen goals exchanged
- Tottenham are unbeaten in six of their last seven Europa League games
Probable line-up: Austin - Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray - Sarr, Bentancur, Bergwall - Kulusevski, Moore, Son.
Current form
In the last two rounds, Elfsborg won at home with the same score of 1:0 against Karabakh and Nice. Six points scored allowed the Swedish team to rise to 20th place in the overall table. A victory today will allow them to finish in the playoff zone, with other outcomes, not everything depends on the Swedes themselves. The Swedish championship ended back in November, however, Oscar Hiljemark charges are maintaining their game tone well through friendly matches and participation in games in the Europa League. It should be noted that Elfsborg main problem is away matches, since they have not managed to score a single point in the European Cup at other arenas. At the same time, the team has lost with a difference of more than one goal away only once - a 0:3 defeat to Athletic.
Disqualifications and injuries

Interesting trends for betting

9.30Tip and bets
The opponents in the upcoming match are motivated, as they have not yet solved all the tournament tasks. Tottenham have the home field factor and the advantage in class on their side. At the same time, Spurs have noticeable problems with the squad, there is no opportunity for rotation, especially in defense. Elfsborg purposefully prepared for the trip to London, the Swedes did not win a single victory away in the Europa League, but were able to impose a fight on both AZ and Galatasaray, there is a high probability that today they will not lose at least a big way to Tottenham, who are far from being in the peak of form.
Our prediction is Elfsborg victory with an Asian handicap (+2) at odds of 1.93
Bet on total
Tottenham defense, given the personnel losses, regularly fails. In the last four matches, Spurs have consistently conceded, it is unlikely that they will be able to play to zero today. At the same time, the Londoners are traditionally strong in attack, they rely on the attack line and have not left the field without scoring goals in eight previous matches. We expect that the opponents will exchange goals today.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.90
Bet on corners
It is worth noting that Tottenham have not taken more than seven corners in their last nine home matches in the Europa League. We think the bookmakers have set the bar a little too high for this indicator.
Prediction - Tottenham total corners under 7.5 with odds of 1.85
