Djurgarden-Pafos, the probable formations

Djurgarden and Pafos again find themselves opposite each other in the return match of the Conference League round of 16. Kickoff 6:45 p.m. at the Stockholm 3Arena. The Swedes are called upon to overturn the 0-1 loss in the first leg, while the Cypriots have two out of three results at their disposal. In the quarterfinals, the winner will play with one between Rapid Vienna and Borac Banja Luka.

Honkavaara will again opt for a 4-2-3-1, with Nguen as the lone forward, assisted by the trio of trequartists Zugelj, Gulliksen and Fallenius. Disqualified Johansson and the injured Marques and Danielson will not be in the match.

Carcedo will use a 4-4-1-1: Jairo will be the offensive point man, with Dragomir positioned immediately behind him in the role of trequartista. The guests’ coach will have to do without Tanlongo, Papadoudis, Monteiro and Boukamir, while Goldar’s presence remains uncertain.

Probable lineups

Djurgarden (4-2-3-1): Nilsson; Stahl, Tenho, Une Larsson, Kosugi; Aslund, Schuller; Zugelj, Gulliksen, Fallenius; Nguen. Coach: Honkavaara.

Pafos (4-4-1-1): Ivusic; Sema, Sarlija, Luckassen, Silva; Bruno, Sunjic, Pepe, Tankovic; Dragomir; Jairo. Coach: Carcedo.
