A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Malmö FF fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Falkenberg's 15th place in the table will show on the pitch.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Malmö FF form and stats
Malmö FF, who have the the best goal difference (+18) in Allsvenskan, have been outstanding at home so far in the Allsvenskan with 6 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses. Malmö haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Elfsborg, 49 days ago. Ever since the Norrköping game Malmö has been unbeatable here at Malmö Stadion producing four straight wins.
Malmö FF shared the glory with Mjällby in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Before that, Malmö FF had a home game versus Örebro which ended with a victory 2-1.
Jo Inge Berget felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Mjällby as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 40th minute.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Malmö as they have a new game in only three days, a Europa League match thankfully also at home. Cracovia Krakow are visiting.
