🗞️ Team News: Hammarby IF

It seems likely that Bajen look set to make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match and select Warner Hahn, Hampus Skoglund, Victor Eriksson, Pavle Vagic, Shaquille Pinas, Markus Karlsson, Tesfaldet Tekie, Paulos Abraham, Nahir Besara, Sebastian Tounekti and Jusef Erabi.

📰 Team News: IFK Norrköping

IFK Norrköping manager Martin Falk has to contend with a number of unavailable players. David Mitov Nilsson (Wrist injury), Kevin Höög Jansson (Foot surgery) and Stephen Bolma (Knee surgery) will miss out on this game.

We are inclined to think that Snoka will likely elect for a 4-3-3 formation, starting David Andersson, Moutaz Neffati, Max Watson, Kojo Peprah Oppong, Jesper Ceesay, Sebastian Jørgensen, Ismet Lushaku, Alexander Fransson, D. Moberg Karlsson, Christoffer Nyman and I. A. Sigurgeirsson.

⚡ Prediction

It looks to us like IFK Norrköping will have a difficult task to find the net against a Hammarby IF outfit who seem set to dominate this match.

We reckon that it will be a very comprehensive 3-0 margin for Hammarby IF by the conclusion of the match.
