🗞️ Team News: IF Elfsborg

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the IF Elfsborg boss Jimmy Thelin to be concerned about due to a largely intact group. Viktor Widell (Cruciate Ligament Injury) is out of contention.

It looks as if Di Gule could make use of the 4-3-3 formation featuring Tim Roenning, Johan Larsson, Sebastian Holmen, Ibrahim Buhari, Niklas Hult, Noah Soederberg, Michael Baidoo, A. Fannar Baldursson, Jeppe Okkels, S. Aron Gudjohnsen and Simon Hedlund.

Kalmar FF boss Henrik Jensen has multiple availability issues to deal with. Carl Gustafsson (Concussion) and Sebastian Nilsson (Dislocation of the patella) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that Röda bröder will likely begin the game with a 3-4-3 lineup by sending out Ricardo Friedrich, Lars Saetra, Rasmus Sjoestedt, D. Kristjan Olafsson, Johan Karlsson, Melker Hallberg, Robert Gojani, Nahom Girmai Netabay, Simon Skrabb, Deniz Hummet and Jacob Trenskow.
