Let’s go to Gamla Ullevi in Gothenburg! Häcken kicks off!
Kick-off of this Häcken – Strasbourg in a few minutes in Gothenburg. Gamla Ullevi is not the Swedish club’s usual stadium and the enclosure is not very crowded with around 4,000 spectators in the stands.
Before the start of this 3rd day, Strasbourg was ranked 9th in this Conference League. Note that there are only 6 matches in this league phase, and only the first 8 are directly qualified for the round of 16.
Liam Rosenior arranges his men in 4-3-1-2, even if this could quickly switch to 3-4-2-1. The Englishman made several changes in the eleven since Bratislava with the tenure of Chilwell, Amo-Ameyah and Enciso to the detriment of Paez, Lemaréchal and Ouattara. Panichelli, Moreira and Barco are on the bench. Having just returned from injury, Emegha is in the group.
The Scandinavians play in 4-2-3-1 this evening. Coach Jens Hustafsson lines up a classic eleven, Layouni and Dembe are the only changes compared to the game against Rayo Vallecano.
For this trip to Nordic soil, the Alsatians must do without several players. Johnsson (wrist), Oyedele (muscle), and Sow (knee) are still injured.
At Häcken, we will have to watch Julius Lindberg who scored and delivered an assist against Rayo. For Strasbourg, Valentín Barco should be at the heart of the game, having been involved in five goals in his last six games (1 goal, 4 assists).
This is Häcken’s first ever match against a French team, while Strasbourg last faced a Swedish club in 1978/79, eliminating Elfsborg 4-3 on aggregate in the UEFA Cup, despite losing 2-0 away.
Strasbourg’s good start to the season has run out of steam in recent weeks, with only one victory in the last five matches in all competitions (2nd, 2d). However, RCSA remains undefeated in its first European campaign since 2005/06 (1v, 1d), with an encouraging away success against Slovan Bratislava on the first day (2-1).
The Swedes remain on a series of seven games without defeat, including five draws, a dynamic started by a 0-0 against Shelbourne on the first day of C4. THE Wasps also conceded a draw in their last outing in this competition, conceding a penalty in the 103rd minute against Rayo Vallecano to finish 2-2. A result which just keeps them in the play-off places (24th), while they are still awaiting their first victory in the European group stage (2n, 6d).
With four points on the clock, the Alsatians have started their European campaign rather well and will seek to confirm during this perilous trip.
After two draws to begin with, the Swedish club will try this Thursday evening to finally win at home to settle a little more comfortably in the top 24.
