🗞️
Team News: GAIS
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the GAIS gaffer Fredrik Holmberg to be concerned with from a near full-strength group. Gustav Lundgren (Achilles tendon rupture) misses out.
We are thinking that Makrillarna look set to make use of the 4-3-3 system for this game with Mergim Krasniqi, August Wangberg, Robin Frej, Oskar Agren, R. Wendin Thomasson, William Milovanovic, Joackim Fagerjord, Henry Sletsjøe, R. F. Thorkelsson, Samuel Salter and Rasmus Niklasson.
📋
Team News: Halmstads BK
We’re of the thinking that HBK appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, settling for Tim Rönning, André Boman, Pascal Gregor, Erko Tougjas, Rami Kaib, Oliver Kapsimalis, Joel Allansson, Rocco Ascone, Hussein Carneil, Ludvig Arvidsson and Omar Faraj.
🧠
Prediction
When taking all factors into account, Halmstads BK certainly have the ability to score against this GAIS lineup, but that probably shouldn’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We reckon that it will be both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for GAIS after 90 minutes. Should be an interesting one.
