Team News: Djurgårdens IF
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Djurgårdens IF manager Jani Honkavaara to be concerned about. Malkolm Nilsson Säfqvist (Elbow injury) won’t be in action.
There’s a good chance that Blåränderna might elect for a 4-3-3 formation using Jacob Rinne, Theo Bergvall, Miro Tenho, Marcus Danielson, Keita Kosugi, Hampus Finndell, Matias Siltanen, Daniel Stensson, Santeri Haarala, Tokmac Chol Nguen and August Priske.
🔮
Prediction
Our feeling is that Djurgårdens IF may find it difficult to put one past this IF Elfsborg side who we reckon should score at least once to put them ahead.
We’re therefore anticipating a highly competitive game with a 1-0 win for IF Elfsborg after 90 minutes.
Little in this one.
