Elfsborg vs Standard betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Elfsborg was quite tragic in their Europa League opening game away from home against Salzburg, as the Austrians got easy 4:0 victory. From the beginning of the game it was obvious that the hosts were far above their opponents and with two goals scored in each half-time they got the precious victory early in the competitions."

With this match, Austrian side showed that they are able to claim the qualification for the next phase, while Elfsborg will have to search for their better luck in remaining five matches. However, it’s obvious the team lacks quality to be very competitive in this competition and it won’t be so much of a surprise in case they end the competition with very few points. They have no real target in the domestic league, as the team is already far away from the European tickets and can use the rest of the matches to filter out their squad for the next season. They are coming from a 1:1 home draw against Helsingborg, match that completed their run to three games without a victory.

Defender Soderberg (18/3 in the domestic league) is out for this game, being very important absentee, while left midfielder Hult (15/1) is also sidelined with a injury. Finally, absent is also striker Keene (22/5).

Standard is coming into this game after a 5:0 morale boosting victory over Cercle Brugge away from home last weekend. It was their ninth consecutive victory, as the team continued to be first at the table with great seven points difference to second placed Club Brugge. However, great start in the season was spoiled with a first round of Europa League and the team will have to improve their performance in Europa in case they want to progress to the next stage.

They have suffered a 1:2 defeat in the first round against Danish side Esbjerg at home, but it must be said that they were better in that game, failing to convert chances into goals, while the visitors scored the second goal in fifth minute of injury time. Everyone in the club is completely straight saying that they have to get the victory over Elfsborg after the defeat against Esbjerg, adding that in case they fight like they did against Cercle, their victory will come along. Experienced striker de Camargo will stay out of this game, same as substitute central defender Ben Haim. This time Standard isn’t expected to experienced any change in the starting eleven as everyone takes the game very seriously.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in eight of Standard Liege’s last nine games in Europa League.
With the form behind their back, Standard seems like completely other world for Elfsborg at this moment. Visitors are doing very well, will not try to rotate their squad a lot this time and look like strong favorites against out of form Elfsborg that already showed to less quality for this competition.

Bet: Standard -0.25 Asian handicap
