They display some attractive football at times, playing out from the back which almost proved costly on a couple of occasions, but failing to hold out means they have conceded a joint league-high 48 goals. Had they taken their chances, they would have claimed a spectacular victory against all the odds, with Lukas Rupp left ruing what might have been. The German midfielder broke the offside trap in the first half and when faced one-on-one with Alisson, inexplicably decided to square the ball towards Teemu Pukki instead of shooting but the Brazilian goalkeeper managed to claw the pass away.

Last season, Sodertalje FF and Assyriska United competed in Division 4, Sweden's 6th division but different from the region. Sodertalje finished in only 7/12 teams in the Herrar region with 9 wins, 1 draw and lost 12 matches. The whole season, they scored 56 goals but received 69 goals. Meanwhile, Assyriska United excelled in the 2nd place in the Southern region, thus winning the promotion play-off spot. Last season, they won 14/22 matches, scored 69 goals and received 43 goals. So, despite playing in the 6th division last season, the two teams have a clear differentiation. But this is a friendly match so it will be difficult to predict the result.
Our advice is to hang fire until you see what kind of selections Jose makes in his first few games before taking the plunge. Further forward, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min remain assets regardless but keep an eye on Eriksen and Dele Alli for signs of life as well as Erik Lamela and Moura, should they suddenly find favour under the new boss.
