Elfsborg on verge of making history
Despite a poor domestic season, Elfsborg have surprised many in Europe.
They currently sit with seven points and could become the third Swedish team ever to win three matches in a single Europa League campaign.
Their style isn’t flashy—they have the lowest possession and passing accuracy in the competition—but it has been effective.
Their home form has been key, earning seven points from three matches at Borås Arena.
Kenyan representation in Europa League
Elfsborg’s 20-year-old Kenyan international Timothy Ouma has been a standout player this season.
He has made 36 appearances with 3 goals to follow for the Swedish side, showcasing his potential.
Though Ouma has only scored once in the league season, his attacking contributions and creativity could make a difference against a struggling Nice defense.
Nice gathering momentum
For Nice, the Europa League has been a disaster.
With just two points from six games, they have little to play for in this match.
Their domestic form has been much better, but injuries to key players like Terem Moffi and Jeremie Boga have hindered their European performances.
Nice’s away record in Sweden is poor, losing both of their previous games.
