ℹ️ Team News: Malmö

Dusan Melicharek (Knee Problems) and Rasmus Bengtsson (Knee Injury) won’t be playing for Malmö gaffer Jon Tomasson.

We think that Himmelsblått may well use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game with Marko Johansson, Jonas Knudsen, Behrang Safari, Franz Brorsson, Eric Larsson, Erdal Rakip, Bonke Innocent, Jo Inge Berget, Anders Christiansen, Søren Rieks and Isaac Kiese Thelin.

📰 Team News: Falkenberg

Thanks to a completely healthy group available for selection, Falkenberg boss Hasse Eklund does not have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this clash.

We reckon that Falkenberg appear most likely to elect for a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Johan Brattberg, Sander Van Looy, Carl Johansson, Tobias Karlsson, Tobias Englund, Anton Wede, Christoffer Carlsson, Marcus Mathisen, John Björkengren, Karl Söderström and Gustaf Nilsson.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Malmö will most probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

At the other end, Falkenberg won’t find it easy to break down their defence although we do reckon that they could well end up converting at least once.

Accordingly, we see a controlled 3-1 winning margin for Malmö at full-time.
