Sweden Allsvenskan: Elfsborg vs Mjalby 21/05/2026

Draw no bet (DNB) betting

Last season was disappointing for Elfsborg. They finished 8th in the standings and despite a positive transfer window, the markets expected them to have a similar campaign this year.

However, their start to the new season suggests they are capable of much more. With solid defensive organization and strong home performances, they have only one defeat in the first eight rounds and currently sit 4th in the table. They also seem more comfortable against opponents that try to dominate possession, something reflected in their results so far, as most of their dropped points came against teams from the lower half of the standings.

Mjalby come from the historic achievement of winning last season’s title and although they were not significantly weakened in the transfer market, the bookmakers are not giving them many chances to repeat that success. In the outright title market they started the season around 5.00 odds and are now offered at similar prices to Elfsborg, around 15.00.

With the odds looking quite balanced, the value appears to be on the home side. The momentum is in Elfsborg’s favor. Mjalby won the Cup last Thursday, but they are now facing their third demanding match within eight days. On Sunday they lost 1-0 at home to Hacken in a match where defensive leader Noren was sent off and their best player, midfielder Stroud, picked up an injury that could even put his World Cup participation at risk. These two absences make the home prices even more attractive, with the draw no bet option available around even money.
