IF Elfsborg vs Pafos FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Steve Ashfield in Europa League Predictions
Elfsborg begin their 2024/25 Europa League campaign with a home match against Pafos from Cyprus. This is the first leg of their first qualifying round and the winners will play either Sheriff Tiraspol or Zira in the next round. Let's look at the data and offer a prediction for this matchup between The Yellow Ones and their green Cypriot opponents.
Swedish side Elfsborg are seventh in the Allsvenskan after 14 matches of the season. They are seven points behind the European qualification spots. This is their first time in European football since 2015 but have won their last five home games in this competition.
Their most recent league fixture saw them beat Brommapojkarna 3-0 at home. That ended a run of two league games without a win, though one loss was to leaders Malmo. Home form is strong this season with five wins, a draw and one defeat. Their last four home games have been won by an aggregate of 14-2.
Pafos are yet to start their league season so are at a bit of a disadvantage. Three pre-season friendlies have been played with a couple of wins and most recently a goalless draw away at Panathinaikos. They finished fifth in the Championship Group last season.
That wasn't good enough to get them into Europe but then they won the Cypriot Cup. They have only been in existence for ten years and are Russian owned. This is their first time in European competition. We tip Elfsborg to get a home win.
