📋 Team News: IFK Värnamo

In our view, IFK Värnamo should employ a 4-3-3 formation for this one, utilising Hugo Keto, Johan Rapp, Hugo Andersson, Emin Grozdanic, Axel Björnström, Simon Thern, Luke Le Roux, Frank Junior Adjei, Carl Johansson, Mohammad Alsalkhadi and J. Samuel Kalu.

ℹ️ Team News: IFK Norrköping

IFK Norrköping boss Martin Falk has a number of players out of action. David Mitov Nilsson (Wrist injury), Kevin Höög Jansson (Foot surgery) and Stephen Bolma (Knee surgery) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that Snoka might utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing David Andersson, Moutaz Neffati, Max Watson, Amadeus Sögaard, Yahya Kalley, A. Ingvi Traustason, Axel Bronner, Jesper Ceesay, I. A. Sigurgeirsson, Christoffer Nyman and D. Moberg Karlsson.

✨ Prediction

We believe that IFK Norrköping and IFK Värnamo should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.

It appears that a draw might be on the cards. We’re therefore predicting a hard-fought 1-1 scoreline at the end of the match.
