📋 Team News: Malmö

Regarding absentees, there’s just a single fitness concern for the Malmö gaffer Gaute Helstrup to be concerned with from a near full-strength squad. Pontus Jansson (Cruciate ligament injury) is out of contention.

In our view, Himmelsblått may well use a 4-4-2 formation this time and select Robin Olsen, Jens Larsen, Andrej Djuric, Malte Frejd Palsson, Noah Astrand John, Kenan Busuladzic, Otto Rosengren, Adrian Skogmar, Oscar Sjöstrand, Sead Haksabanovic and Erik Botheim.

ℹ️ Team News: IFK Göteborg

Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the IFK Göteborg boss Stefan Billborn to be concerned with. Arbnor Mucolli (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Blåvitt appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, choosing Elis Bishesari, Felix Eriksson, Jonas Bager, August Erlingmark, Noah Tolf, Filip Ottosson, David Kruse, Sebastian Clemmensen, Tobias Heintz, Adam Wiberg and Max Fenger.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that IFK Göteborg are likely to put a goal past this Malmö FF side, although that may not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Malmö FF at the end of this one. It should be a decent one.
