Mjallby welcome Borac Banja Luka to Sweden in a League Phase clash that looks a lot tighter on paper than the two teams’ recent form suggests. The hosts sit 12th in the standings with four points from two games, Borac just one spot below with three, so both clubs still have real business to settle in this competition.
The interesting wrinkle here is the form gap. Mjallby have won only two of their last eight matches across all competitions, while Borac arrive having won five of their last six. Bookmakers still make the Swedish side favourites purely on home advantage, and we think that gap between market price and current form is exactly where the value sits this week.
Jacob Bergström carries most of Mjallby’s attacking threat up top, a player who has racked up seven shots across his last five outings and remains their likeliest source of a goal. For Borac, Luka Juricic has been the creative spark, setting up two goals from midfield in his last two appearances and he tends to drift into pockets that Mjallby’s back line has struggled to track recently.
Hot stat: Borac Banja Luka have lost just once in their last fifteen matches across all competitions, a run that includes five wins in their last six, which makes them one of the form sides heading into this round of Conference League fixtures.

Mjallby vs Borac Banja Luka prediction
We predict Borac Banja Luka to leave Helsingborg with at least a point. Their current run of form is simply too strong to ignore, and Mjallby’s own recent record, three defeats and three draws in their last eight, does not inspire much confidence despite the home tag. Borac have also scored in four of their last five matches while keeping three clean sheets along the way, a balance that Mjallby have not been able to match.
Mjallby’s game is built around patient possession, they have racked up over 2,300 passes in their last five matches compared to Borac’s 701, but that control has not translated into cutting edge, just three goals in that stretch. Borac foul less and pick up fewer cards, only five yellows across five games against Mjallby’s eleven, which points to a more disciplined defensive setup that should frustrate the hosts’ build-up play. Expect a cagey match low on fouls from the visitors but with plenty of territorial pressure from Mjallby that may not convert into clear chances.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Borac Banja Luka Double Chance (Draw or Win) |
| ⚽Total Goals: | Under 2.5 |

Team Analysis
Mjallby’s last outing ended goalless against Kalmar, a result that extends their struggle to find the net against mid-table domestic opposition. Before that they beat Orgryte 2-1 but followed it with a 0-2 loss to Hammarby and a 1-1 draw with Iberia in Europe. The pattern is clear, flashes of quality mixed with long spells of toothless football, and that inconsistency is exactly what worries us about their chances here. In our preview of Iberia vs Mjallby we called a tight away win for the Swedes built on their shot volume and passing control, but the 1-1 scoreline went against us, with Iberia equalising late and Mjallby failing to close the game out.
Borac Banja Luka’s most recent result was a 4-2 win over Celik, a scoreline that shows their attacking upgrade but also a defensive lapse worth noting against a side with modest recent form. Still, the wins keep coming, 2-0 over FK Krajina Cazin, 2-0 over Sloga Doboj, and 2-0 over KuPs before that, with the only blemish being a 1-2 loss to Panathinaikos away from home. In our preview of Borac Banja Luka vs KuPs we backed the hosts to win to nil with goals staying under 2.5, and the 2-0 final score delivered exactly that.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Mjallby the favourite
- Moneyline Mjallby 2.31 | Borac Banja Luka 3.27
- Draw 3.19
Mjallby are priced as the favourites on home soil, but the gap to Borac’s price is small enough to suggest the market respects the visitors’ form. We think those away odds carry genuine value given how Borac have performed over the last two months, and a stake on the double chance line feels like the smarter way to back that form without fully committing to an away win on the road.
Possible Starting Lineups
Mjallby possible starting eleven
- GK: Alexander Ludin
- DF: Abdullah Iqbal, Axel Norén, Tony Miettinen
- MF: Tom Pettersson, Jeppe Kjær Jensen, William Granath, Viktor Gustafson
- FW: Jacob Bergström, Áki Samuelsen, Ali Youssef
Mjallby’s 3-4-3 shape leans heavily on Iqbal and Norén for ball progression from the back, both averaging well over fifty passes per match. Bergström remains the player to watch up top, he has produced more shots than anyone else in the squad over the last five games, while Jeppe Kjær Jensen’s set piece delivery, with twenty free kicks taken recently, gives Mjallby a route to goal even when open play stalls.
Borac Banja Luka possible starting eleven
- GK: Mladen Jurkas
- DF: Sebastian Herera, Bart Meijers, Siniša Saničanin, Branimir Cipetić
- MF: Stefan Savić, Miloš Jojić, Sandi Ogrinec, Ante Roguljić, Luka Juricic
- FW: Amer Hiroš
Borac’s likely 4-2-3-1 gives Juricic the freedom to operate just behind Hiroš, a role that fits his two assists in the last two matches perfectly. Savić and Jojić both have goals to their name from deeper positions, which explains why Borac’s attack does not rely on one single outlet. Jurkas has kept the gloves busy with eleven saves recently and should be tested again by Mjallby’s territorial game.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We lean toward Borac Banja Luka avoiding defeat here. Their last fifteen games show a side that rarely loses and scores consistently, while Mjallby’s stop-start form, highlighted by that recent run of losses and draws, makes them hard to trust as home favourites. Perhaps Mjallby’s possession numbers give them enough control to force a draw, but we doubt they have the cutting edge to beat a Borac side playing with this much confidence. Our pick sits on Borac Double Chance with the total goals staying under 2.5, a combination that matches both teams’ shot output and defensive discipline over their last five matches.
