Team News: IF Elfsborg
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the IF Elfsborg manager Björn Hamberg to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Dion Krasniqi (unknown injury) will miss out. Sebastian Holmén is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
In all likelihood, Di Gule should use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, utilising Isak Pettersson, Rasmus Wikström, Rufai Mohammed, Thomas Isherwood, Niklas Hult, Julius Magnusson, Simon Olsson, Simon Hedlund, Julius Beck, Arber Zeneli and Leo Östman.
📰
Team News: Hammarby IF
We reckon that Bajen seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Warner Hahn, Hampus Skoglund, Victor Eriksson, Frederik Winther, Noah Persson, Markus Karlsson, Tesfaldet Tekie, Montader Madjed, Nahir Besara, Victor Lind and Paulos Abraham.
💭
Prediction
We’re thinking that IF Elfsborg may not find it easy to find the net against this Hammarby IF lineup who will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a hard-fought 0-1 winning score for Hammarby IF at the end of this game.
Should be a close one.
