Elfsborg vs AS Roma Prediction and Betting Tips | October 3rd 2024
The action continues in the UEFA Europa League as Elfsborg and AS Roma go head-to-head at Boras Arena on Thursday. The Italian Serie A side head into the midweek clash without a win in their last seven competitive away games and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Elfsborg turned in a fine show of fighting spirit at the weekend when they came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over Kalmar in their Swedish Allsvenskan clash.

Roma have now gone five consecutive matches without defeat across all competitions, picking up two victories and three draws since the start of September.
Ivan Juric’s men return to action in the Europa League, where they kicked off the 2024-25 campaign with a 1-1 stalemate against La Liga side Athletic Bilbao last Thursday.
