For Malmö FF, the goals were scored by Antonio Čolak (9', 19', 67'), Veljko Birmančević (48') and Malik Abubakari (53').

Proving their bias toward productive encounters, goals have been seen as many as 20 times in the prior six games in which Malmö FF have taken to the field, yielding a mean average of 3.33 goals each meeting. Their opponents have managed 8 of these goals. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward here, though.

↔️ Head to head

📋 Team News: Östersunds FK

Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Östersunds FK manager Per-Joar Hansen to contend with from an otherwise complete group. Rewan Amin (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t play.

📋 Team News: Malmö

Malmö boss Jon Tomasson has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Patriot Sejdiu (Cruciate Ligament Injury), Oscar Lewicki (Knee Injury), Jonas Knudsen (Knee Injury) and Ola Toivonen (Knee Injury) are not ready for selection.

🧠 Prediction

We envisage that Östersunds FK should be able to find the back of the net against this Malmö FF side, but one goal possibly won’t quite prevent defeat.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 1-2 win for Malmö FF at full-time. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
