  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Arne Slot might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jonas Svensson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Johnatan Opoku, as he is very good at scoring at AFAS Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
