Latest Elfsborg vs AS Roma football review
Roma failed to take all points in their Europa League opener, drawing 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao, despite Artem Dovbyk scoring the opener. Despite conceding a late equaliser, the team, under new coach Ivan Juric, have won their last two Serie A games and are currently ninth with nine points from six games and unbeaten in their last five.
Roma will need to improve their away form to have any chance of finishing in the top eight of the Europa League, having won just two of their seven games last season. Elfsborg, after a 3-2 defeat to AZ Alkmaar in their opening game, face a tough group with Roma, Tottenham, Galatasaray and Nice. Coach Oscar Hiljemark noted his side had just three shots in the defeat to AZ, but still scored from two.
At home this season, Elfsborg have three wins and one loss in four Europa League qualifying games. They are currently fifth in the Swedish Allsvenskan, but have not won in 12 big games at the Boras Arena since beating Strasbourg in the 1978-79 UEFA Cup. Elfsborg will be hoping for a better performance in their upcoming encounter to keep their Europa League hopes alive.
