📰 Team News: BK Häcken

The BK Häcken boss Paco Johansen will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this game thanks to a fully injury-free squad ready to go.

In our view, Getingarna could line up in a 3-5-2 system this time with Andreas Linde, Even Hovland, Marius Lode, Adam Lundqvist, Amor Layouni, Mikkel Rygaard, Simon Gustafson, Amane Romeo, Julius Lindberg, Edward Chilufya and Zeidane Inoussa.

ℹ️ Team News: Hammarby IF

Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the Hammarby IF boss Kim Hellberg to be concerned with. Frederik Winther (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

We believe Bajen seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup, starting Oliver Dovin, Hampus Skoglund, Edvin Kurtulus, Pavle Vagic, Shaquille Pinas, Tesfaldet Tekie, Nahir Besara, Oscar Johansson, Abdelrahman Boudah, Jusef Erabi and Viktor Djukanovic.
