Mjallby vs Malmo FF Predictions

• Over 3.5 goals have been scored in two of Mjallby’s last three home league games and three of Malmo’s last four away games
• Malmo have drawn their last two away games 2-2
• Isaac Kiese Thelin has scored in his last five appearances for Malmo to make it 11 goals in 12 starts and one substitute appearance in the league this term

Strandvallen skirmish should be a spectacle

Mjallby host Allsvenskan champions Malmo in a top-of-the-table clash at Strandvallen on Sunday that should be full of goals.

Third-placed Mjallby have accumulated 26 points so far with the vast majority of them earned at home. Anders Torstensson’s side have won three of their last five matches at Strandvallen and been fairly prolific there – netting in 100% of their home games this season and averaging 2.13 goals per match.

League leaders Malmo arrive looking to extend a 10-game unbeaten run in the Allsvenskan, with eight wins and two draws. And their away record is particularly strong, as Henrik Rydström’s men have scored an average of 2.58 goals per game while conceding just 1.15 on their travels.

In-form Thelin can make a telling contribution 

This contest has all the ingredients of a high-scoring affair with both sides boasting in-form strikers. Swedish international Isaac Kiese Thelin has bagged five goals in his last five outings to take his tally to 11 on the season, only five short of the total he produced last season.

Meanwhile, Mjallby’s main man up front is Jacon Bergstrom, who has notched in five of his last games.

Defensively, Malmo has the edge, keeping clean sheets in 43% of their away games compared to Mjallby’s 25% at home, but home advantage can help the hosts claim a 2-2 draw in what should be a game full of thrills and spills.
