Malmo FF vs Ludogorets Predictions

Goals at both ends expected in Sweden

Malmo’s Swedish Allsvenskan title challenge took a blow at the weekend as they lost a five-goal thriller at home to Goteborg but they will still be in high spirits after their 4-2 aggregate win over Rangers in Champions League qualification. Now they’re just one step away from making it to the group stages for the first time since 2015/16 and I think they can get a crucial first leg win here.

They won’t have it all their own way, though. Both teams have scored in four of their last five competitive games and in each of their last five Champions League qualifiers, while Ludogorets made it past Olympiakos last week and have scored in eight of their nine competitive matches this season.

Both teams scored in both legs of their Olympiakos tie and I expect the same to happen again and with Malmo winning three of their last four in this competition by a 2-1 scoreline a narrow victory for the hosts is also a good shout.
