Fixture Analysis
IF Elfsborg welcome Hammarby FF to Borås Arena in Allsvenskan (matchday 23). Kick-off is Sunday 22 September 2024 at 14:00 UK time.
Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, IF Elfsborg have gone 6W 3D 1L — a 2.10 PPG return. Last five: D W D W D. They are averaging 2.40 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.
IF Elfsborg's home record over their last 10 home games: 8W 1D 1L (2.50 PPG). They are averaging 2.70 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Hammarby FF — last 10 games: 5W 4D 1L — 1.90 PPG. Last five: D W D W D. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 0.60. Defensively, 0.60 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.
On the road, Hammarby FF have gone 6W 1D 3L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (50%) — they are hard to break down on the road.
The form comparison is too close to call — 2.10 PPG (IF Elfsborg) versus 1.90 (Hammarby FF). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
Head to Head
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 5 H2H matches, IF Elfsborg have won 2, Hammarby FF 3, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.
The 5 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.4 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 15 Apr 2024, ended IF Elfsborg 0–3 Hammarby FF — a Hammarby FF win.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading Patterns
IF Elfsborg in-play and half-time data (last 52 games, 26 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 85% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 13 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 54%; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 69% of games (home games).
Hammarby FF in-play and half-time data (last 52 games, 26 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 58% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 65% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 18 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 39%; BTTS occurs in 35% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — IF Elfsborg 52% versus Hammarby FF 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (IF Elfsborg 64% | Hammarby FF 58%). Note also that Hammarby FF surrender HT leads in 39% of cases while IF Elfsborg recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 54% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects IF Elfsborg 1.41 xG and Hammarby FF 1.44 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: IF Elfsborg attack 1.329 / defence 0.936 | Hammarby FF attack 1.139 / defence 0.693. League average goals — home 1.534 / away 1.353. IF Elfsborg carry an above-average attack rating of 1.329 — their 1.41 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Hammarby FF bring a tight defence (rating 0.693, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling IF Elfsborg's projected output down. Data: built from IF Elfsborg's last 53 games and Hammarby FF's last 52.
Result probabilities: IF Elfsborg 37% | Draw 25% | Hammarby FF 38%. Fair-value odds: IF Elfsborg 2.72 | Draw 4.00 | Hammarby FF 2.62. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 2.85. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.85 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 58% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Hammarby FF at 38% — marginal model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Hammarby FF offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 37% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.85 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 54% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (IF Elfsborg's last 10 home games and Hammarby FF's last 10 away games) averaging 3.1 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 58% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: IF Elfsborg 70% (last 10 home games) | Hammarby FF 40% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Borås Arena, Regular Season - 23, as IF Elfsborg and Hammarby FF drew 0-0 in the Allsvenskan. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting IF Elfsborg 1.41 xG and Hammarby FF 1.44 xG, a combined 2.85. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. IF Elfsborg fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Hammarby FF landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of IF Elfsborg attack 1.33 / defence 0.94 against Hammarby FF attack 1.14 / defence 0.69, drawn from 53/52 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it IF Elfsborg 37% | Draw 25% | Hammarby FF 38%, with Hammarby FF to win its most likely call at 38%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 54%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 78% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 61% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (IF Elfsborg 64%, Hammarby FF 58%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
IF Elfsborg's trading profile (52 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and duly kept one.
Hammarby FF's trading profile (52 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — IF Elfsborg 1.94 PPG, Hammarby FF 1.62 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. IF Elfsborg (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.42 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.92 average — tighter than their form line. Hammarby FF (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.12 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.12 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
