Malmo Preview – Can Malmo continue momentum?
Sunday’s hosts, Malmo, picked up a sixth win in seven matches in all competitions in midweek when they registered a 2-0 home win over Polish club, Cracovia Krakow, in the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League, but they’ll turn their attentions back to the domestic scene for this upcoming clash against title rivals, Elfsborg.
Malmo currently sit top of the Allsvenskan and hold a useful seven-point cushion over 2nd placed Elfsborg, so another win for the home side here would see them open up a 10-point lead, and having won seven of their nine home matches to date within an overall home record of 7-2-0 19/7 under their belts, they look a hard team to beat on home turf.
In addition, just one defeat from their last 35 matches at home underline Malmo’s dominance on home turf while six of Malmo’s last nine home matches to date this term have resulted in over 2.5 goals being scored.
Elfsborg Preview – Can Elfsborg bounce back?
Although Elfsborg’s Allsvenskan campaign has been a little more modest than their hosts, the visitors have still enjoyed a successful start to this new Swedish top flight season as they occupy 2nd place on the league standings and have lost just twice throughout this season so far.
Despite losing 1-0 at home to Ostersunds in last weekend’s defeat at their Borås Arena, the visitors have suffered just one defeat at home and away to date, while the bigger picture shows that Elfsborg have lost just two of their previous 23 matches overall.
Elfsborg have also performed well on their travels in the Swedish top flight as just one loss from their last 14 matches on the road indicates, but they’ll face their toughest test yet this Sunday. With this in mind, the goals angle appeals here as 10 of Elfsborg’s last 14 away matches have also seen over 2.5 goals.
