📰 Team News: Helsingborgs IF

Wilhelm Loeper (Metatarsal Fracture) and Brandur Hendriksson (Knee Injury) are unavailable for Helsingborgs IF gaffer Jörgen Lennartsson.

It looks as if Di Röe look set to use the 4-3-3 formation for this one, utilising Kalle Joelsson, Ravy Tsouka, Casper Widell, Charlie Weberg, Viljormur Davidsen, Lucas Lingman, Dennis Olsson, Armin Gigovic, Rasmus Jönsson, Anthony van den Hurk and Taha Abdi Ali.

🗞️ Team News: IFK Norrköping

Due to a mostly available group, there’s just a single fitness issue for the IFK Norrköping manager Rikard Norling to be concerned with. Kristoffer Khazeni (Ill) won’t be playing here.

We reckon that Snoka could decide to utilise a 3-4-3 system, settling for Oscar Jansson, Godswill Ekpolo, Linus Wahlqvist, Filip Dagerstal, Daniel Eid, Ishaq Abdulrazak, Jacob Ortmark, Ari Skulason, Jonathan Levi, Christoffer Nyman and Eman Markovic.

When taking everything into account, Helsingborgs IF will have a tough ask to breach the defence of this IFK Norrköping lineup who we think will get the vital goal that wins it.

Our tip is therefore for a very even contest with a 0-1 winning score for IFK Norrköping at the end of the 90 minutes.

Should be a close one.
