The Swedish top flight season continues on Sunday afternoon and our next preview features a clash between Ostersunds and Malmo as the betting tips continue at the Jämtkraft Arena.
Ostersunds Prediction – Can Ostersunds respond after defeat?
A heavy 3-0 loss away from home at Norrkoping in last Sunday’s Allsvenskan league match means that Ostersunds will be looking to bounce back here.
This defeat ended a run of 4 matches without defeat for the hosts, but their task of bouncing back with a win on Sunday is not an easy one with Malmo coming to town.
On top of that, Ostersunds have managed to register just 1 win out of their last 10 matches in the Swedish top flight.
That victory came in the shape of a 2-1 home win over Norrkoping, but it’s been the host’s only highlight on home turf from their last 5 matches.
On the flip side, Ostersunds have suffered just 1 defeat on home turf this season at their Jämtkraft Arena, so they’ve been hard to beat.
The hosts hold a steady and solid looking home record which stands at 3-4-1 12/9 so they’ll be fairly confident of taking something from this clash.
However, they’ve failed to beat Malmo in each of their last 6 encounters, with Malmo winning 4 of these 6 matches overall.
Malmo Prediction – Can Malmo extend unbeaten sequence?
The visitors extended their unbeaten run to 5 matches in all competitions during the week when they held Slovenian outfit, Domzale to a 2-2 draw in the Europa League.
Malmo have certainly did themselves a huge favour by avoiding defeat in the 1st leg of the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League tie with Domzale.
Their attentions now turn to the Swedish top flight where they currently occupy 2nd place in the Allsvenskan and just 1 point adrift of leaders, AIK.
They know that all 3 points in this clash would lift them to the top of the table, and having secured two resounding wins in the Europa League already, confidence will be high.
An 11-0 aggregate win over Irish side, Ballymena United along with points against Djurgarden and Sirius in 1-1 draws will have given them an extra boost.
A similar looking away record of 3-4-1 7/6 includes wins on the road at Sirius 1-0, Falkenberg 2-1 and Helsingborg 1-0.
In addition, Malmo have kept 4 clean sheets from their 8 away matches so far this season.
