Team News: IF Elfsborg
We think that Di Gule could make use of the 3-4-3 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Simon Eriksson, Sebastian Holmen, Rasmus Wikström, Terry Yegbe, Simon Hedlund, Besfort Zeneli, Simon Olsson, Niklas Hult, Gottfrid Rapp, Frederik Ihler and Ari Sigurpalsson.
🗞️
Team News: Djurgårdens IF
Thanks to a largely healthy group, there is only the sole fitness issue for the Djurgårdens IF manager Jani Honkavaara to be concerned about. Malkolm Nilsson Säfqvist (Elbow injury) won’t be in action.
We’re of the thinking that Blåränderna appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing 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.
