Malmo FF vs Falkenberg Betting Tips & Predictions

Malmo FF have enjoyed a relatively good start to the new Sweden Allsvenskan season after their disappointing 5th place finish last season, and they find themselves in with the chance of moving top of the table with a win on Monday evening. They are just a point behind leaders and champions Norrkoping, although a defeat would allow three teams below them to match their 21 points tally.

They started the season with a home win against Norrkoping, but then slipped a bit with back to back defeats. Since then they have won six, drawn one, and lost one of their games in all competitions, although the draw did end in a penalty shootout loss in the Swedish Cup Final.

Falkenberg are having no such joy at this early stage of the season. The visitors narrowly avoided relegation last season thanks to a relegation playoff win, but at the rate things are going they won’t get that chance again. They come into this game bottom of the Allsvenskan with a return of just four points from their ten matches so far. This already puts them six points adrift of the relegation playoff spot and eight points off safety in the Allsvenskan.

Their two point winning matches came in successive games towards the end of April as they shockingly beat Norrkoping and then drew at Jonkopings, but since then they have lost four matches on the trot.

Away from home Falkenberg have lost three and drawn one of their four outings this season, whilst Malmo FF have won all but one of their five home games so far this campaign.

The hosts have been scoring freely on home turf too. They have netted 11 times in five matches there and are coming up against a Falkenberg side who have shipped 25 goals already this season, with 11 of those coming away from home.

This fixture also has a history of producing high scoring matches. Malmo have scored 15 goals in their four meetings with Falkenberg and scored at least three goals in all four of them. This makes odds of 8/11 for Malmo Over 2.5 Team Goals look very attractive, and I’m backing that along with a 4-1 correct score prediction at 14/1.
