Malmo Preview – Can Malmo gain 1st leg lead?
Having won four of their last five matches overall in all competitions, Malmo will be confident that they can grab a 1st leg lead in this 1st qualifying round tie against Vikingur Reykjavik following recent wins against Hammarby, Degerfors, Trelleborg and Helsingborg.
Malmo were handed a 2-1 defeat away at GIF Sundsvall last time out in the Swedish Allsvenskan and although they suffered losses at home to the likes of Juventus and Chelsea in last season’s Champions League campaign, these have been Malmo’s only defeats in their last 11 home ties in this competition.
Vikingur Reykjavik Preview – Can Vikingur continue winning streak?
An eight-match winning streak will also have given Vikingur Reykjavik plenty of confidence ahead of their upcoming trip to face Malmo in this 1st qualifying round, especially as seven of these eight wins have been achieved away from home as well.
Vikingur have progressed to this stage of the competition thanks to wins in the preliminary rounds over Levadia 6-1 and Inter Club d’Escaldes 1-0, both of which were on the road but they’ve never met Malmo before in any competition.
