🗞️ Team News: Halmstads BK

We think that HBK will possibly employ a 4-3-3 formation for this game, handing starts to Etrit Berisha, Filip Ohman, Nikola Zecevic, Marius Lode, Ben Engdahl, Mikkel Rygaard, Samuel Leach Holm, Simon Gustafson, Amor Layouni, Srdjan Hrstic and Julius Lindberg.

📰 Team News: GAIS

We reckon that Makrillarna appear most likely to make use of a 4-3-1-2 formation, going with Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Mads Thychosen, B. Tiedemann Hansen, S. Papagiannopoulos, Thomas Isherwood, Johan Hove, Anton Saletros, Dino Besirovic, Bersant Celina, Victor Andersson and Andronikos Kakoullis.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Halmstads BK could find themselves struggling to find the net against this GAIS side who we think will be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We’re going for a good battle with a 0-1 win for GAIS at the end of this one.

Let’s see how it plays out.
