Had no luck in this years Royal league so far with AIK twice letting me down. Gone for Elfsborg today though, very few teams escape Borås with many points!

I do not believe Viborg can continue with the luck today, AIK walked all over Viborg for 70 minutes but after HT AIK started to rotate players and formations and Viborg grabbed an equaliser. I do not expect these mistakes to be made again and will not be backing AIK again after this repeated this performance of the Vålerenga match!

Elfsborg have not made a strong start to this cup after a wonderful season in Sweden but I believe on this time they will perform like match day 1 when they beat AIK 4-1. The last fixture for Elfsborg was a 2-2 draw in Denmark v this same team in a game where Elfsborg had many chances but in the end needed a late winner. However on this time they have mighty Borås Arena and many returning players will feature that could not in Denmark - Holding midfielder Jari Ilola returns as does young playmaker forward Daniel Eres. Joakim Sjöhage & Jon Jönsson remain the only missings.

I think Elfborg have the better players, and a great home advantage from good stadium and artificial pitch, plus it is only a couple of days rest for Viborg from the AIK game. Home win for me.
