Malmo vs Copenhagen

It is an all-Scandinavian affair in the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers as Malmo host Copenhagen in their first leg clash.

Both teams come into this match in good form, driven by solid attacks. They will be keen to claim the upper hand in this one and could be set for a thrilling contest filled with goals.

Malmo News

Malmo did the double over RFS to reach the third round of the qualifiers. They eased to a 4-1 away victory in the first meeting before edging out a 1-0 victory in the second leg.

The Swedes have been near perfect lately and are unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions, picking up eight wins on this run. It has also been a smooth ride at home for Henrik Rydstrom's team, who have won their last four matches in front of their fans.

Malmo have no problems going forward, scoring in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions and grabbing the opening goal in the last seven fixtures. However, they are without a clean sheet in five of the last eight fixtures, while three of their last four home matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Copenhagen News

Copenhagen also had a smooth ride in the previous round, claiming a 3-0 aggregate victory over Drita to progress. Jacob Neestrup's team earned a 2-0 home win in the first leg and followed it up with a 1-0 away victory in the second meeting.

Both results are part of a solid run for Copenhagen, who have won their last six matches across all competitions. They have also won their last three away matches and picked up a 2-0 victory at Fredericia in a domestic fixture last Saturday.

Copenhagen often look solid going forward and have scored in their last three away matches. However, they often show some vulnerability against solid attacks and are without a clean sheet in two of their last four matches on the road.

Head to Head

Malmo and Copenhagen have picked up one win each and as many draws from the three previous meetings. Both teams met during the group stage of the Europa League in 2019, with the Swedes playing out a 1-1 home draw in the first meeting before winning 1-0 on the road in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Malmo FF v FC Copenhagen

Malmo and Copenhagen have shown some attacking quality lately, and both teams could be backed to score. With three of the Swedes’ last four matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat is on the cards here.

The hosts have a knack for scoring first and having grabbed the opening goal in their last seven matches, could be set for a similar pattern on Tuesday.
