Halmstad – IF Elfsborg

The Allsvenskan clash at Halmstad’s home ground ended in a 1‑1 stalemate, leaving the hosts still languishing in 16th place with just 11 points from 21 games, their goal‑difference a bleak –25. Meanwhile, fourth‑placed IF Elfsborg, who sit on 34 points and a modest +8 tally, were unable to turn the draw into a three‑point haul despite their superior record of nine wins. The single point each side earned maintains the status quo in the league table, with Halmstad remaining mired in the relegation zone while Elfsborg cling to a top‑four position. Their head‑to‑head record this season remains perfectly balanced, the two teams having already shared a draw in their previous encounter.
