Malmo FF vs FC Copenhagen Prediction & Betting tips
It does not happen often, but there is a real derby on the program in this second round of the Europa League group stage with the meeting between Malmö and FC Copenhagen. After all, you only have to cross the Øresund Bridge from Copenhagen, Denmark, and you’re already in Malmö, Sweden!
Malmo:
Malmö has to grab points on Thursday-evening, because two weeks ago the men of coach Uwe Rösler lost 1-0 to Dynamo Kiev. A new defeat against FC Copenhagen would almost certainly mean the end of its European aspirations for the Swedish top club.
Malmö is in good shape anyway, as last weekend’s 0-1 win over at AFC meant the third consecutive win. It was also the third time in a row that De Blauwen managed to keep the out, though it took 82 minutes for Anders Christiansen to head his team to victory. The 29-year-old Danish international is one of the many routiniers in Malmö’s selection, with names such as Guillermo Molins, Behrang Safari and former premier league players Rasmus Bengtsson, Marcus Rosenberg and Søren Rieks having a remarkably large number of thirty-something in their ranks. Malmö would like to add an old hand to it with no one less than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but Ibracadabra himself has few ears in a return to the club where it all started for him: “I don’t feel like Swedish football again turn it upside down. ”
FC Copenhagen:
Two weeks ago FC Copenhagen already won 1-0 against the Swiss Lugano in front of their own public, and can therefore work relatively carefree towards the short trip to Malmö. Of course, the Danes go for the win in the Swedbank Stadium, but a draw would also be a good result for them in view of European wintering.
With a 4-2 victory over Silkeborg, FC Copenhagen also had a great dress rehearsal, but still coach Stale Solbakken is in trouble. His team is currently being hit by an injury wave, which means that as many as nine players may have to miss the derby against Malmö. Key players such as Nicolaj Thomsen, Nicolai Boilesen, Victor Fisher and first goalkeeper Sten Gryteburst have to be absent anyway, while the Danes with Dame N’Doye and Jonas Wind probably also have to do without their two best attackers. Against Silkeborg, the coach was forced to call on the very young Mohamed Daramy, while various other players had to play in a position that was strange to them. “We have to, because if we play with four or five youth players, we will be completely overrun,” says Solbakken. “It’s going to be tough, but we are also going for Malmo against victory. Playing DNA is not in our DNA. ”
