ℹ️ Team News: IFK Norrköping

David Mitov Nilsson (Wrist injury), Kevin Höög Jansson (Foot surgery) and Stephen Bolma (Knee surgery) won’t be able to feature for IFK Norrköping boss Martin Falk.

It’s our opinion that Snoka may well employ a 4-3-3 system for this one and select David Andersson, Moutaz Neffati, Max Watson, Kojo Peprah Oppong, Marcus Baggesen, A. Ingvi Traustason, Sebastian Jørgensen, Alexander Fransson, Tim Prica, Christoffer Nyman and I. A. Sigurgeirsson.

📰 Team News: BK Häcken

BK Häcken manager Jens Gustafsson has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Andreas Linde (unknown injury) and Brice Wembangomo (Hamstring injury) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, Getingarna could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 formation, starting Etrit Berisha, Filip Ohman, Marius Lode, Nikola Zecevic, Adam Lundqvist, Simon Gustafson, Silas Andersen, Mikkel Rygaard, Amor Layouni, Srdjan Hrstic and Julius Lindberg.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that BK Häcken and IFK Norrköping may well both score at least one goal each although picking a clear a winner isn’t easy.

Let’s see how it plays out, but we expect to see goals and there is to be a real possibility it will end up level. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 2-2 scoreline when the full-time whistle blows.
