GIF Sundsvall vs Malmo FF Predictions

• GIF Sundsvall have lost nine of their 11 games in the Swedish Allsvenskan this season, conceding a massive 29 goals.
• The hosts have shipped two or more goals in all but two of their league games this year, conceding five goals on three separate occasions.
• Malmo have responded to a run of three consecutive league defeats with back-to-back wins.

Struggling Sundsvall unlikely to trouble champions

25-time Swedish Allsvenskan champions Malmo, who have won the country’s top flight in each of the last two seasons, have not had it all their own way in 2022, but Friday’s trip to Sundsvall should be a routine encounter. The newly-promoted hosts have been the whipping boys for many of Sweden’s bigger clubs this term, and it’s difficult to see that changing in their next outing.

Malmo’s recent run of three consecutive defeats against AIK, Djurgarden and Hacken followed a run of seven games without loss, but recent wins over lowly Helsingborgs and Degerfors have helped Milos Milojevic’s men steady the ship. Malmo’s record of 10 Allsvenskan goals conceded is only bettered by Kalmar, and they’ve kept six clean sheets in 11 league outings this term.

While the visitors have not exactly been free-flowing at the other end, a match against the league’s worst rearguard offers the opportunity for Malmo to grab a confidence-boosting win. Sundsvall have conceded 29 goals in 11 league games, shipping two or more goals in nine of their 11 outings and allowing five goals in three separate games this term.

Malmo should record comfortable victory

Sundsvall have been beaten by more than a one-goal margin in seven of their 11 league games, conceding a massive 20 goals in their last seven outings. Their dire defensive record makes backing Malmo to beat a -1 handicap attractive, especially given the visitors’ tendency to keep things tight at their own end.

Malmo racked up a league-high 58 goals en route to the title in 2021, and scored a similarly division-leading 64 in 2020, so backing them to find their shooting boots in a 3-0 win looks a decent correct score prediction.
