In our view, Di Gule could employ a 3-4-3 formation this time with Simon Eriksson, Rasmus Wikstroem, Ibrahim Buhari, Terry Yegbe, Simon Hedlund, Besfort Zeneli, Simon Olsson, Niklas Hult, Frederik Ihler, Taylor Silverholt and Ari Sigurpalsson.
📋 Team News: GAIS
We are inclined to think that Makrillarna appear most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for Mergim Krasniqi, August Waengberg, Oskar Aagren, Filip Beckman, Robin Frej, Gustav Lundgren, Harun Ibrahim, William Milovanovic, R. N. Petrovic, Ibrahim Diabate and Amin Boudri.
🧠 Prediction
GAIS will have to play well to see themselves scoring against this IF Elfsborg lineup who we think should score at least once to gain the upper hand.
We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 1-0 advantage for IF Elfsborg when the full-time whistle blows.
Expecting it to be tight.
