📋 Team News: Halmstads BK

It looks as if HBK will probably go for a 3-4-3 formation in the match and select Tim Erlandsson, Bleon Kurtulus, Filip Schyberg, Marcus Olsson, Villiam Granath, Joel Allansson, A. Damnjanovic, Gustav Friberg, Ludvig Arvidsson, Yannick Agnero and Naeem Mohammed.

📰 Team News: Djurgårdens IF

From a largely healthy squad, there’s just a single fitness worry for the Djurgårdens IF gaffer Jani Honkavaara to be concerned with. Malkolm Nilsson Säfqvist (Elbow injury) won’t be in action.

From our viewpoint, Blåränderna appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Filip Manojlovic, Theo Bergvall, Miro Tenho, Jacob Une Larsson, Keita Kosugi, Matias Siltanen, I. A. Mulugeta, Santeri Haarala, Tobias Gulliksen, Oskar Fallenius and Tokmac Chol Nguen.

🔮 Prediction

Our assessment is that Halmstads BK must be fancied to find the net against this Djurgårdens IF lineup, but one goal possibly won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We can see a narrow 1-2 victory for Djurgårdens IF when the referee blows the final whistle. It should be a decent one.
