Europa League betting and spectator preview: FC Union Berlin and Malmö FF meet at Stadion An der Alten Försterei to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
It's no vacation for neither FC Union Berlin nor Malmö FF as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
FC Union Berlin form and stats
The story so far in the Bundesliga for FC Union Berlin at their home stadium (Stadion An der Alten Försterei) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses in this competition.
FC Union Berlin are returning here after visiting Stuttgart and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Jaeckel scored the goal(s). Jaeckel, defender, was given a rating of 8.12/10 in that game, top of the team. Jaeckel scored one goal and won 8 of 13 duels.
Before that game, a fine away win at Malmö FF. A Europa League match.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Berlin as they have a new game in only three days, a Bundesliga match thankfully also at home. Borussia Dortmund are visiting.
From these home matches, FC Union Berlin have conceded only 3 goals.
Malmö FF form and stats
They also participated in Champions League last season. This ended in the group stage.4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Malmö FF playing as the away team in the Allsvenskan this season. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 3W-1D-3L. This is both home and away.
The attacking players of Malmö have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 207 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Malmö FF goalkeeper Ismael Diarra Diawara is eager to challenge this, with his 226 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
There were no winners in Malmö FF's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Varnamo. Hadžikadunić was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.95. The defender Hadžikadunić won 9 of 15 duels.
The match before was the Europa League-duel against FC Union Berlin, a home defeat (0-1).
The schedule is very tough for Malmö now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Allsvenskan game at IFK Göteborg is waiting in only four days.
As opposed to that, Malmö FF have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Berlin and Malmö FF have met already this season: Malmö FF - FC Union Berlin 0-1.
