The Latest betting tips and Kalmar vs Malmo predictions

Malmo to win

I definitely think it will be the away team who will get the three points. One of the reasons why I think this way is that Malmo has been the most consistent team in the last few rounds of the Swedish championship.

Also if we evaluate the last direct confrontations, The Blue Ones won 4 out of 5. In the previous matchday, The Red Brothers lost against a mid-table team.

Under 2.5 goals

The result of the five most recent head-to-head matches was 1-0. The same result as in Kalmar’s last matches. The home team is likely to focus on defence to prevent the tournament leaders from scoring.

The away team can’t afford to let the three points slip away as they could lose the lead. Taking all this into account I think both clubs will not take many risks and this will result in few goals.

Malmo to score first

Although I said previously that both teams would be very careful, the team most likely to score the first goal of the match is the visitors. The Blue Ones have scored first in five of their last six meetings and in four of those they have gone in at half-time with the score in their favour.

If we look at six of the last eight head-to-heads we will also find that the guest was the first to score. The latest Kalmar vs Malmo prediction is that The Blue Ones will open the scoring.

The Red Brothers have been performing better in the last few rounds, but are still dropping points. After 25 games, Kalmar have 36 points and are in seventh place, with virtually no chance of reaching the European places. In the previous round, Henrik Jensen were beaten 1-0 by Norrkoping. 61% possession was not enough to outplay their opponents.

Malmo

The Blue Ones are enjoying a great run of seven consecutive matches without defeat. In that period they won five times and retook the Allsvenskan lead. Coach Henrik Rydstrom’s strategy on matchday 25 worked well and with two goals from The Blue Ones in the first 13 minutes it was enough to beat Brommapojkarna. Malmo now have 55 points, just one point ahead of Elfsborg.
