IFK Norrkoping vs Malmo FF Predictions

• Norrköping are without a win in six matches
• Malmo have picked up three victories from four league outings
• Norrköping have defeated Malmo just once in their last half a dozen attempts

Norrköping on a dreadful run

Six games without a win means Norrköping are certainly heading the wrong way, although four of those matches have ended all-square.

They have picked up four wins so far this season, but three of them have come against sides currently in the bottom third of the table, while they have lost three times to teams in the top four.

Rikard Norling’s side also struggle against Malmo, who they have beaten just once in their last six attempts, while only two of their last eight home games (stretching back to last season) have ended in victory.

Malmo primed to win?

This is the kind of game Malmo ought to be winning if they are to qualify for Europe, and they certainly look in decent touch thanks to three victories in their last four league outings.

Miloš Milojević’s side recently beat Víkingur Reykjavík in a two-legged Champions League first round qualifying tie, and have in fact lost just once in eight fixtures in all competitions.

That defeat came to struggling Sundsvall and is the only time they have lost to a side in the bottom half of the table.

Malmo should win this game, so an away victory is my initial selection, with 2-1 my correct score prediction.
