🗞️ Team News: IFK Värnamo

It’s our opinion that IFK Värnamo will possibly opt for a 4-3-3 system for this game featuring Hugo Keto, Victor Larsson, Hugo Andersson, Emin Grozdanic, Axel Björnström, Simon Thern, Luke Le Roux, Wenderson, Carl Johansson, Frank Junior Adjei and Ajdin Zeljkovic.

📋 Team News: Malmö

Malmö manager Henrik Rydström has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Johan Dahlin (Cruciate ligament injury), Stefano Holmquist Vecchia (Back injury) and Gentian Lajqi (Cruciate ligament injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We reckon that Himmelsblått could decide to play in a 4-4-2 system using Ricardo Friedrich, Jens Larsen, Pontus Jansson, Nils Zätterström, Johan Karlsson, Hugo Bolin, Otto Rosengren, Lasse Berg Johnsen, Taha Abdi Ali, Daníel Gudjohnsen and Emmanuel Ekong.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that IFK Värnamo will do well to get anything against this Malmö FF outfit who we think will just have the edge.

We’re therefore expecting a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for Malmö FF when the full-time whistle blows.

Looking forward to this.
