Norrköping is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Viktor Agardius and Arnór Sigurðsson each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Nicolás Stefanelli and Gustav Henriksson are the top scorers for Elfsborg in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
