• Copenhagen have never beaten Malmo in two attempts
• Malmo won 1-0 when these two last met, the other meeting finished 1-1

Swedes can edge to first-leg lead

A mouthwatering clash is in store on Tuesday when Scandinavian giants Malmo and Copenhagen meet in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

Both sides are in fantastic form and this contest could swing either way, but our prediction is for a narrow home win in Sweden.

Malmo’s unbeaten run stands at ten and they have won their last seven matches in all competitions, but Copenhagen make the trip boasting even better form.

The Danish champions haven’t lost since mid-April, a run stretching 12 matches. They have won all five outings in this campaign and will fancy their chances of recording a first win over these opponents.

However, Malmo haven’t lost on home soil since the start of May and Henrik Rydstrom’s men have kept clean sheets in four of their last six outings at their Swedbank Stadion stronghold.

Copenhagen have had no issue scoring on the road recently, but Malmo look the toughest team they have faced in their schedule, so a cagey home win looks a likely outcome.

Backing a 1-0  scoreline looks the best option for correct-score punters.
