🗞️ Team News: IFK Norrköping

Regarding absentees, there’s just the sole fitness concern for the IFK Norrköping manager Glen Riddersholm to be concerned with from a near full-strength squad. Kristoffer Khazeni (Ill) is sidelined.

We are thinking that Snoka will probably opt for a 4-3-3 system in the match featuring Oscar Jansson, Daniel Eid, Marco Lund, Anton Eriksson, Marcus Baggesen, A. Ingvi Traustason, V. Hammershoej-Mistrati, Jesper Ceesay, Victor Lind, Christoffer Nyman and Arnor Sigurdsson.

ℹ️ Team News: IF Elfsborg

Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there is only the lone fitness issue for the IF Elfsborg manager Jimmy Thelin to contend with. Viktor Widell (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be in action.

We reckon that Di Gule could decide to make use of a 4-3-3 formation by sending out H. Rafn Valdimarsson, Johan Larsson, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Sebastian Holmen, Niklas Hult, Emmanuel Boateng, Michael Baidoo, Andre Roemer, Jeppe Okkels, S. Aron Gudjohnsen and Jacob Ondrejka.

⚡ Prediction

When taking everything into account, IFK Norrköping will need things to go their way to register a score against this IF Elfsborg team who we reckon should score at least once to put them ahead.
