Team News: Malmö
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Malmö gaffer Gaute Helstrup to contend with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Pontus Jansson (Cruciate ligament injury) is out of contention.
We think that Himmelsblått look set to opt for a 4-4-2 system for this game featuring Robin Olsen, Jens Larsen, Andrej Djuric, Malte Frejd Palsson, Noah Astrand John, Kenan Busuladzic, Otto Rosengren, Adrian Skogmar, Oscar Sjöstrand, Sead Haksabanovic and Erik Botheim.
📰
Team News: IFK Göteborg
From a largely full-strength squad, there is just the lone fitness problem for the IFK Göteborg boss Stefan Billborn to contend with. Arbnor Mucolli (unknown injury) won’t be in action.
From our viewpoint, Blåvitt could decide to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Elis Bishesari, Felix Eriksson, Jonas Bager, August Erlingmark, Noah Tolf, Filip Ottosson, David Kruse, Sebastian Clemmensen, Tobias Heintz, Adam Wiberg and Max Fenger.
💡
Prediction
We envisage that IFK Göteborg are likely to put a goal past this Malmö FF side, although that may not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Malmö FF at the end of this one. It should be a decent one.
