Team News: IF Elfsborg
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the IF Elfsborg manager Björn Hamberg to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust group. Dion Krasniqi (unknown injury) will miss out. Sebastian Holmén will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
We think that Di Gule will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this game and select Isak Pettersson, Rasmus Wikström, Rufai Mohammed, Thomas Isherwood, Niklas Hult, Julius Magnusson, Simon Olsson, Simon Hedlund, Julius Beck, Arber Zeneli and Leo Östman.
📋
