Summer Changes
The coaching change is the major development. Björklund inherits a team low on confidence and must immediately produce a European comeback.
Levadia have followed a much steadier path. They defeated Caernarfon 10–0 on aggregate in the first round before winning in Göteborg.
Team Form
Levadia have scored freely in Europe and now hold three consecutive qualifying victories.
Göteborg have only three wins from 14 league matches and arrive without the suspended Erlingmark. Midfielder Ramon-Pascal Lundqvist is also unavailable after stepping away from training and matches.
Tactical Analysis
Göteborg must attack but cannot afford another chaotic start. Levadia will allow the visitors to have the ball and wait for Wendell or João Pedro to attack the gaps.
The Swedish side need better width and quicker deliveries into Max Fenger. Sam Larsson could start after being used from the bench in the opening game.
Key Players
Levadia: Wendell, Mihkel Ainsalu and João Pedro.
Göteborg: Sam Larsson, Tobias Heintz and Max Fenger.
Expected Lineups
Levadia, 4-2-3-1: Vallner; Peetson, Nwankwo, Tammik, Saliste; Ainsalu, Otoo; Roosnupp, João Pedro, Tambedou; Wendell.
Göteborg, 4-2-3-1: Bishesari; Jallow, Yeboah, Bager, Eriksson; Kruse, Thórdarson; Heintz, Larsson, Wiberg; Fenger.
Head-to-Head
