Malmo FF vs Mjallby Prediction & Betting tips
Every football fan should have noticed that the Spanish Beletage pressed the “Re-Start” button this weekend and the ball rolled again in the LaLiga. But football-free time has come to an end not only in Spain, but also in the far north, for example.
In Sweden, the late whistle for the all-year championship 2020 was heard on Sunday.
The hosts missed the title win for the second time in a row last season, but they are nonetheless the non-plus ultra in Swedish club football. The guests from Mjällby have celebrated a march in recent years and returned to the top division after six years of abstinence. However, the promoted team will have to plan points for the big goal of ‘staying up’ against other teams.
Our betting base odds comparison shows the clear favorite role in favor of the home side. The game in the Eleda Stadium starts on Monday at 18:00 p.m.
Malmo:
The Swedish Allvenskan was hard to beat in drama last season. Before the last matchday, three teams had the chance to win the championship. When leader Djurgarden was 0: 2 behind at half time, Malmo was at the top of the table in the meantime. Djurgarden succeeded in catching up and with a 2-2 draw the club was crowned the Swedish champions for the twelfth time.
With third and second place, German Uwe Rösler missed the championship twice. Despite a very strong point average of 2.10 points per game, Rösler, now working at Fortuna Düsseldorf, had to vacate his chair after one and a half years in Sweden.
A former top striker was hired as the successor. The 43-year-old Dane Jon Dahl Tomasson (including AC Milan, VFB Stuttgart) was wooed by the Norwegian national team. After he was there as an assistant coach, he will now be responsible for everything in Malmö.
Although the 2020 season for Malmö starts on Monday, there have already been five competitive games for the Swedes with the new coach. In the domestic cup, the favorite celebrated three clear successes, but ended in the Europa League against VFL Wolfsburg with two losses.
After two years without a championship title, only the first place in the table counts this season. Neo trainer Tomasson will have to be measured against this and a strong start would be all the more important. An important piece of the puzzle on the way to the championship is said to be 33-year-old Ola Toivonen. The 64-time international has returned to his home country after more than eleven years.
He was active at Malmö from 2007 to 2009 before he could make a name for himself in the top leagues in Europe. Most recently, he was under contract with Australia at Melbourne Victory (18 appearances, ten goals). He has been back at Malmö for almost a week now and will significantly strengthen the team with his experience and class.
In general, the offensive is the great strength of Malmö, which, in addition to Toivonen with Kiese Thelin (Leverkusen), have a second strong attacker in their own ranks. Goals are definitely to be expected at Malmö.
Mjallby:
Mjällby is a small town in the Blekinge province, which lives mainly from the fish and fur industry. The local football club Mjällby AIF is the best-known representative beyond the local borders. A look at the number of inhabitants shows how small the place is, because it is not even 2,000 inhabitants.
Nevertheless, the club has been involved in the Swedish football upper house for several years. After the relegation in 2014, however, the club threatened to disappear from the ground because the club had to deal with serious financial problems.
After descending from Allvenskan in 2014, it went down one floor only a year later. In the relegation, the relegation had to be accepted and the dreary third class meant the new reality.
At the beginning of 2018, the Serb Milos Milojevic was brought to the club, who initially acted as head of the junior department and assistant coach. After half a year he also took over the club as a trainer and made sure that he did not think he could fly. In 2018, the return to the second division was realized, in which the team was treated as a relegation candidate due to the lack of financial opportunities.
With three losses from the first four games, this thesis seemed to be confirmed, but then the team could not be stopped. From game day eight, the team was almost continuously in one of the first two places (only after game day 24 Mjällby was briefly third). At the beginning of November, the club celebrated not only promotion, but also the first championship title in the second division with a 1-1 draw against pursuers and fellow promoters Varbergs BoIS.
As is so often the case in football, great successes for small clubs are always associated with personal bloodletting. Successful coach Milojevic turned his back on the club to act as an assistant coach for Red Star Belgrade in his home country of Serbia.
The successor to the underdog from Mjällby is Marcus Lantz (not to be confused with the ZDF moderator). The 44-year-old Lantz previously worked in Swedish women’s football and is now supposed to lead the promoted team to relegation.
There are a number of players in the ranks of the promoters who, according to the popular Internet portal Transfermarkt, do not even have a fictitious value. Known faces are not to be found in the underdog. A point win would be a huge sensation. Between Malmö and Mjällby, a tip on the guests in any form (regardless of whether the double chance or even the victory) is discouraged. Especially since Mjällby could not really convince in the year of promotion abroad (6-5-4 record).
