Malmo FF vs IFK Norrkoping Predictions

• Malmo have lost just one of their last ten matches within 90 minutes
• Both teams have scored in five of Norrkoping’s last seven matches
• Malmo have won the last seven head-to-heads, scoring 20 goals

Malmo may prove too strong for visitors

Swedish champions Malmo have endured a tricky start to their title defence and are now ten points behind leaders Mjallby.

However, they opened their Champions League qualifying campaign with a win in the week to maintain their upturn in form and they should have too much for lowly Norrkoping at Eleda Stadion on Saturday. 

The visitors are sitting 12th in the Allsvenskan, only two points above the relegation playoff spot, and need to pick up some momentum soon to avoid a nervy end to the season. Any improvement is unlikely to arrive this weekend, though. 

Norrkoping unlikely to cope with high-scoring hosts

Malmo have lost just one of their last eight league matches and their confidence will be further boosted by an excellent record in this fixture. The Blue Ones have won the last seven head-to-heads, scoring an impressive 20 goals in that run. 

Comrades have at least scored in the last three meetings and there is a decent chance they could repeat that feat on Saturday. 

Malmo conceded in their victory over Georgian minnows Iberia 1999 on Tuesday and a Norrkoping side in desperate need of points may net in defeat against the champions.
