🗞️ Team News: Malmö

Johan Dahlin (Cruciate ligament injury), Oscar Lewicki (Calf strain), Anton Tinnerholm (Muscle injury), Stefano Holmquist Vecchia (Back injury) and Gentian Lajqi (Cruciate ligament injury) are unavailable for Malmö gaffer Henrik Rydström.

We think that Himmelsblått will probably go for a 4-4-2 system for this one with Ricardo Friedrich, Jens Larsen, Nils Zätterström, Colin Rösler, Busanello, Oliver Berg, Otto Rosengren, Lasse Berg Johnsen, Hugo Bolin, Emmanuel Ekong and Isaac Kiese Thelin.

📰 Team News: Östers IF

We reckon that Östers IF will likely utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for Robin Wallinder, Tatu Varmanen, Mattis Adolfsson, Ivan Kricak, Lukas Bergquist, Daniel Ljung, Daniel Ask, Kinglsey Gyamfi, Youssoupha Sanyang, Alibek Aliev and Matias Tamminen.

💭 Prediction

For this match, we think that Östers IF have it within them to score a goal against this Malmö FF side, but it might not quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Malmö FF after 90 minutes. It should be a decent one.
