Kalmar - Ricardo Friedrich, Johan Karlsson, Lars Saetra, Rasmus Sjöstedt, Davíd Kristján Ólafsson, Robert Gojani, Romario Pereira Sipiao, Melker Hallberg, Noah Shamoun, Simon Skrabb, Deniz Hummet.

IF Elfsborg looks like they will be the team to control the action, and it will be difficult for Kalmar FF to get a goal against them. However, I expect the visitors to get a consolation goal in the match.
