Molde
Molde currently occupies 13th place in the table with 14 points from 14 games. With 18 goals scored and 22 conceded, the team has a negative goal difference of -4. The last five matches have been mixed, with only one win and four losses – not the usual form for a team that used to compete for top spots. Molde usually plays with a 4-3-3 system but suffers from lapses in concentration during key moments, especially defensively where there are increasing mistakes and weaknesses in the spaces between the lines. Offensively, they try to attack more down the wings but often end without successful finishes. At home, Molde shows significantly more confidence than away, though there have been weak phases at home as well. Overall, the team is hungry for a clear redemption in front of their home crowd.

Strømsgodset
Strømsgodset stands deep in the relegation zone at 15th place with only 6 points from 13 games. With 16 goals scored but conceding 29, they have a heavy negative balance of -13. The recent run includes five consecutive losses, indicating a deep sporting and performance collapse. Offensively, the team shows hardly any penetration, while the defense is completely overwhelmed and clearly suffers from poor planning. The team operates without a clear concept, defends hardly aggressively, and concedes too much space. There are many gaps especially on the wings and against long-distance shots. Their away form is even worse, which further complicates their relegation battle. Currently, the team lacks character and cohesion.

Injuries
Molde must do without several key players, including Caleb Zady Sery (suspended), Valdemar Lund (likely suspended), Albert Posiadala (arm injury), G. Kjoelstad Nyheim (back injury), and the important midfield engine Kristian Eriksen (knee injury until September). Strømsgodset also faces major absences in attack with Jostein Ekeland (bruise), Elias Hoff Melkersen (knee injury until November), and E. Ulland Andersen (ACL tear until November). These absences hit Strømsgodset particularly hard as they further decimate their already weak attacking line.

Head-to-Head
In direct encounters at Molde’s home ground, the hosts dominate clearly: convincing wins of 4-0, 3-0, and 3-2 demonstrate how superior Molde can be at home against Strømsgodset. Away, Strømsgodset struggles more, with a 0-1 loss and a 1-1 draw. Molde’s home strength against this opponent is therefore a decisive factor.

Match Prediction
Molde urgently needs to redeem themselves in front of their own fans and face a weak Strømsgodset who are experiencing a deep sporting and personnel low. The clear home record and the massive problems of the visitors suggest a dominant performance by Molde. Despite recent mixed form, Molde will dismantle the opponents’ offense, especially through the wings. Strømsgodset can hardly keep up offensively and additionally have a porous defense. This results in clear superiority for Molde with winning chances and a comfortable lead of at least two goals. With the bet on a Molde win at the attractive odds of 1.40, there are excellent chances to win on this match.

My tip: Molde win (1.40)

Djurgården
Djurgården is currently in 10th place and can hardly be satisfied with the current situation. In 15 games, they have scored only 14 goals while conceding 17. The offense appears weak and not very threatening, while the defense is often vulnerable and unfocused. In the last five games, there have been two wins, two losses, and one draw. The team frequently shows insecure ball possession without clear incisiveness, particularly lacking pace and creativity in midfield. The home crowd should help, but the defensive weakness remains a major issue.

Elfsborg
Elfsborg positions themselves significantly better in 4th place and shows ambitious goals that might even extend beyond European competitions. Also playing 15 matches, they have scored 27 goals while conceding 18. The offense is strong and versatile, especially prominent on the wings with quick and determined attacks. The defensive performance is solid, even though occasional higher risks in defense arise due to offensive pressing. With a formation that relies on energetic forward drives and a high playing rhythm, Elfsborg aims to appear confident even away from home.

Injuries
Djurgården is missing two key players in central midfield, Theo Bergvall and Albin Ekdal, due to suspensions. In addition, M. Nilsson Saefqvist and Mikael Marques are injured, which significantly limits squad depth. Elfsborg, on the other hand, can rely on a fully fit squad without absences or suspensions, which is a clear advantage.

Head-to-Head
The last five encounters between these teams show a clear dominance of Elfsborg, especially in away matches against Djurgården, with significant results like 4-0 and 3-0. Djurgården has also managed home wins (e.g., 2-0), but both teams have lacked consistency in this duel. The recent results, however, underline the performance difference and Elfsborg’s ability to perform strongly even at the opponent’s home.

Match Prediction
Considering Djurgården's deep crisis, injury problems, and lack of incisiveness, a strong and offensive Elfsborg team meets an opponent with major defensive problems. Although Elfsborg applies a lot of attacking pressure and creates chances, the game is unlikely to end in a very high-scoring spectacle. Elfsborg’s defense is stable enough to prevent Djurgården from scoring many goals, and the attacking play of both teams probably won’t lead to an extremely high number of goals. Therefore, the bet “Under 3.5 goals” is a sensible and safe recommendation with an attractive odds of 1.35.

My tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.35)

Degerfors
Degerfors currently stands at a shameful 14th place, on the brink of relegation. With a goal difference of 18:33, they reveal an extremely vulnerable defense. Five consecutive losses show a frightening downward trend characterized by a lack of pressing and chaotic defensive performances. The team appears mentally broken, their tactics diluted and lacking a clear line. Especially the defensive insecurity and lack of structure make it difficult for them to remain competitive; even at home there is tension and nervousness.

GAIS
GAIS presents itself significantly more stable and secure, occupying a comfortable 6th place in the table with 25 points and carrying a positive goal difference of 21:13. The last five games brought four wins and one draw, underlining the team's strong form. Their tactical discipline, stable defense, and efficient offense demonstrate a well-thought-out game system that allows them to perform consistently both at home and away. GAIS controls the game without excessive pressure, uses chances purposefully, and shows mental strength and cohesion.

Injuries
Both teams enter the match with full squads, as there are currently no injuries or suspensions. Coaches can rely on their best lineups, which clearly defines the playing conditions and shows that performance differences on the pitch are due to form, not absences.

Head-to-Head
Historically, Degerfors had some advantages, but recent clashes show a clearly shifted balance in favor of GAIS. GAIS won 2-0 in April and played 2-2 in February, underlining their upward trend. Earlier wins by Degerfors from 2020 and 2021 no longer hold weight given the current form. GAIS currently dominates the direct comparisons and knows exactly how to act successfully against Degerfors.

Match Prediction
Considering Degerfors’ dismal form and the strength and stability of GAIS, a victory for GAIS seems almost inevitable. Degerfors lacks structure, confidence, and defensive stability, while GAIS demonstrates tactical maturity and consistency. The likelihood that GAIS will safely claim all three away points is very high. Therefore, I strongly recommend the bet Win GAIS at odds of 1.83, as bookmakers realistically assess GAIS’s favorite status and the current state of the teams strongly supports this prediction.

My tip: Win GAIS (1.83)

Beijing Guoan
Beijing Guoan is the undefeated number one this season with 38 points from 16 games (11 wins, 5 draws). With 37 goals scored and only 15 conceded, they have the best goal difference in the league (+22). The team plays very structured, focusing on ball control and developing their attacks patiently, often using overlapping runs and short passes to break down the opponent's defense. At home, Beijing Guoan plays very offensively and uses fan support as an additional advantage. Despite defensive stability, there have been occasional weaknesses on counterattacks.

Shanghai Shenhua
Shanghai Shenhua closely follows Beijing Guoan, also with 38 points, but with 12 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. Their attacking performance is almost equally strong with 36 goals scored, but defensively they concede slightly more goals (16). Their play style is aggressive and vertical with long passes and fast wing runs. The team is known for its ability to quickly switch from defense to attack. Away, they show a slightly weaker but still dangerous performance. Defensively, they are not always as compact as Beijing Guoan, which can open spaces for goals against.

Injuries
Beijing Guoan will be missing key goalkeeper Jiaqi Han until early 2026, which could impact their defense. Shanghai Shenhua has to cope without Pengfei Xie and Saulo Mineiro, limiting their creative and offensive potential.

Head-to-Head
The recent direct encounters between the two teams have always been high-scoring and close. In four of the last five games, both teams scored, and usually more than 2.5 goals were scored. These derby matches are known for their open, attack-oriented style without defensive restraint.

Match Prediction
This top match promises to be a real highlight, where both teams will showcase their offensive strength. The statistics and playing styles of both sides leave little doubt that goals will be scored – on both ends. Injuries may force tactical adjustments, but the attacking potential remains high. The betting odds of 1.45 on 'Both teams to score: Yes' reflect the expectation of a high-scoring game. Based on the season performances so far and the head-to-head history, we therefore recommend this bet with great confidence.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.45)

Fortaleza
Fortaleza is currently in a deep crisis and occupies only 19th place with 10 points from 13 games. They have lost all of their last five matches, indicating a serious dip in form. Defensively as open as a barn door, opponents can often penetrate their defensive areas with little effort. The team tries to operate in a 4-3-3, but fails to achieve the necessary wing activity or consistent pressing. Offensively, they lack punch; most attacks are non-committal crosses that find hardly any recipient. They appear tired, especially in the second half, where they frequently collapse. Despite home advantage, Fortaleza currently has few arguments to overcome the crisis.

Bahia
Bahia presents itself as a clearly more stable and better coordinated team. Without injuries in the squad, the coach can make full use of his resources and fields a tactically disciplined team. They prefer pragmatic play, relying on quick counterattacks and smartly exploiting opponents' mistakes. Bahia’s defense works solidly, especially centrally, so they are rarely pressured from distance. Even away, they act confidently and adapt well to the pitch without losing pace.

Injuries
Fortaleza is missing important players like Bruno Pacheco and especially David Luiz, whose absence is a big loss for the defense. Bahia, on the other hand, can field a full squad with no injured or suspended players, which gives them a clear strength.

Head-to-head meetings
In the last five direct encounters, Bahia dominates with three wins, one draw, and only one defeat against Fortaleza. Especially the most recent encounter on 10.07.2025 was won comfortably by Bahia with 2-1, playing in a controlled manner while Fortaleza again showed defensive weaknesses.

Match prediction
Given Fortaleza’s precarious form, their defensive problems and lack of offense, as well as Bahia’s stable, well-organized team, the home side will have great difficulties scoring points. Recent history and squad overview clearly favor Bahia or at least a draw in their favor. I expect a close, rather cautious game without many goals, in which Bahia will not lose.

My tip: Double chance Bahia (1.43)

Widzew Łódź
Widzew ended last Ekstraklasa season weakly, finishing in the lower third of the table. In the new season preparation process, the team showed mixed performances in friendly matches, including a clear 0-3 defeat against a team from the First League. Offensively, Widzew appeared solid and scored in five of six test matches.

Zagłębie
Zagłębie also disappointed last season, finishing in the lower part of the table. However, the team showed more stability in preparation, with only one loss in six friendlies. In recent encounters with Widzew, Zagłębie has managed to keep the upper hand, including winning the last two duels. Offensively, Zagłębie also scored in most preparation games.

Injuries
No information on injuries available.

Head-to-head
Over the past three years, Widzew and Zagłębie have met seven times. Widzew won twice, Zagłębie four times, and one game ended in a draw. In these matches, at least two goals were scored each time. In four of the last five duels, both teams scored.

Match prediction
Although many direct encounters in the past have seen goals, the season-specific preparation and the defensive stability of both teams suggest a rather cautious approach. The average card and corner counts indicate a disciplined match, where the offense will not be overly dominant. Given Widzew’s uncertain form and Zagłębie’s solid defense, a low-scoring game is likely.

My tip: Under 2.5 goals (1.70)
