Mjallby vs Varbergs Lineups and Team News

Mjallby

Mjallby enter the new campaign under a new manager and riding high on the wave of success after reaching the Swedish Cup final. The new coach Torstensson has been involved with the club in different roles since 2019 so he knows the squad well and this showed in the recent Swedish Cup run.

Had to rebuild their back line in the off-season after their 2 best centre-backs departed. However, the 4 new centre-backs that were signed seem to have fit in straight away and Mjallby are looking even stronger in defence so far.

The options for the game are slightly restricted as 4 players will be absent due to injuries. Defender Kricak and last season’s top goalscorer Nwanwko are the 2 important ones that will be missing. There is plenty of cover for Kricak in defence but in attack, things are not so well. Right now Moro is the only typical centre forward that is fit and ready for use.

Varbergs

Varbergs were lucky to avoid relegation in 2022 as they finished only 14th and needed playoffs to preserve their elite status. The team hardly added much quality to their ranks in the off-season but it kept the size of the squad to over 40 players.

Coach Persson has a unique style and in 2022 he used 26 different starting lineups in 30 rounds. That’s why he needed so many players as he keeps rotating his squad non-stop.

Varbergs are missing some important players right now. Captain Birkfeldt, Mensah and the crucial wing-back Liljenback, as well as the new winger Sainte, are all out injured. Sisse is a doubt too. Still, this leaves only 37 fully fit players to pick from so the gaffer can’t be complaining too much.
