📋
Team News: Malmö
Malmö boss Henrik Rydström has to choose a team with limited availability. Johan Dahlin (Cruciate ligament injury), Stefano Holmquist Vecchia (Back injury) and Gentian Lajqi (Cruciate ligament injury) will miss out on this game.
From our viewpoint, Himmelsblått seem likely to elect for a 4-4-2 system, settling for Ricardo Friedrich, Jens Larsen, Nils Zätterström, Colin Rösler, Busanello, Oliver Berg, Otto Rosengren, Lasse Berg Johnsen, Hugo Bolin, Erik Botheim and Isaac Kiese Thelin.

We’re therefore expecting a good tussle with a 0-1 winning score for Malmö FF at the end of the 90.
It should be a good one.
