Team News: Degerfors IF
It looks as if Degerfors IF could use the 3-4-3 formation for this one featuring Rasmus Forsell, Leon Hien, Juhani Pikkarainen, Sebastian Ohlsson, Erik Lindell, Christos Gravius, Teo Grönborg, Mamadouba Diaby, Sebastian Ohlsson, Adi Fisic and Marcus Rafferty.
📰
Team News: Malmö
Malmö manager Henrik Rydström has to currently contend with reduced team options. Johan Dahlin (Cruciate ligament injury), Stefano Holmquist Vecchia (Back injury) and Gentian Lajqi (Cruciate ligament injury) are those who can’t be considered.
We are inclined to think that Himmelsblått seem likely to make use of a 4-4-2 lineup, starting the game with Ricardo Friedrich, Jens Larsen, Nils Zätterström, Colin Rösler, Busanello, Oliver Berg, Otto Rosengren, Lasse Berg Johnsen, Hugo Bolin, Erik Botheim and Isaac Kiese Thelin.
🧠
Prediction
Our assessment here is that Degerfors IF will have to perform well to find the net against this Malmö FF lineup who we reckon should score & stay on top.
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.
