Malmo Preview – Can Malmo continue on their merry way?
Malmo take a break from the bread and butter of the Allsvenskan on Thursday night when they start their Europa League campaign against Polish outfit, Cracovia Krakow, with the hosts sitting seven points clear at the top of the Swedish top flight.
The hosts bring an impressive 11-match unbeaten sequence in the league into this Europa League tie, and having won nine of these 11 matches overall, Malmo will be in confident mood at their Eleda Stadion as they seek to progress through to the next qualifying round.
On the European front, Malmo have lost their last two matches on the trot which were home and away to German Bundesliga side, Wolfsburg, but prior to that, Malmo had put together a seven-match unbeaten run at home in this competition which included six victories.
Cracovia Krakow Preview – Can Cracovia build on promising start?
Thursday’s visitors, Cracovia Krakow, registered an opening day 2-1 home win over Pogon Szczecin in the new Polish Ekstraklasa season on the weekend but they now face a tough fixture away from home in the 1st qualifying round of the Europa League which is a one-legged affair this season.
Overall results in recent times haven’t exactly been entirely convincing for Cracovia as they’ve won just three of their last seven matches in all competitions, which included Polish cup wins against Lechia Gdansk and Chobry Glogow (both of which required extra-time for Cracovia to secure the wins).
Cracovia Krakow also possess severely limited experience in the Europa League, having played just four ties beforehand; defeats home and away against Macedonian club, Shkendija, in 2016 were followed by back-to-back draws with Slovakian outfit, DAC, in July last year – which means the visitors have yet to win a Europa League tie.
