Owing to a fully injury-free group available to select from, the Västerås SK manager Kalle Karlsson doesn’t have any fitness concerns to report coming into this match.

We believe Västerås SK appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-3 lineup by sending out Johan Brattberg, Mikael Marques, Frederic Nsabiyumva, Alex Douglas, Simon Gefvert, Marcus Linday, Patric Aaslund, Max Larsson, Henry Offia, Ibrahim Diabate and Matteo Ahlinvi.
