Team News: Djurgårdens IF
Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Djurgårdens IF manager Jani Honkavaara to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Malkolm Nilsson Säfqvist (Elbow injury) is out of contention.
It seems likely that Blåränderna will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, utilising Filip Manojlovic, Adam Staahl, Miro Tenho, Jacob Une Larsson, Keita Kosugi, Daniel Stensson, Albin Ekdal, Oskar Fallenius, Tobias Gulliksen, Patric Aaslund and Tokmac Chol Nguen.
📰
Team News: Rapid Vienna
Rapid Vienna boss Robert Klauß has not got a full squad to pick from. Laurenz Orgler (Knee injury), Guido Burgstaller (Skull base fracture) and Nikolaus Wurmbrand (Hamstring injury) are not able to play.
We’re of the thinking that Die Grün-Weißen might make use of a 4-4-2 lineup, giving starts to Niklas Hedl, Bendeguz Bolla, Nenad Cvetkovic, Serge Raux Yao, Moritz Oswald, Louis Schaub, Mamadou Sangare, Lukas Grgic, Isak Jansson, Ercan Kara and Dion Drena Beljo.
🔮
Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Rapid Vienna and Djurgårdens IF could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.
A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. We’re therefore predicting a 1-1 scoreline at the conclusion of the game.
