Malmö welcome FC Copenhagen to the Eleda Stadium in the third qualifying round of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League season for what can only be described as a small Scandinavian derby.
The reigning Swedish champions had a long road to reach the third qualifying round of the Champions League 25/26. They began in the first round against Georgian side Iberia, whom they defeated convincingly 6-2 in the two first legs. In the second round, they faced Latvian club RFS - a clear 4-1 victory in Riga was enough to progress to the second leg, which Malmö also won 1-0.
FC Copenhagen were fortunate to start their Champions League campaign in the second qualifying round in 25/26. They were drawn against Kosovan side Drita, who they defeated 3-0 in the two first legs to progress to the third round of the competition.

FC Copenhagen team overview
Striker Youssoufa Moukoko was substituted off in the 56th minute in the last league game against FC Fredericia and is a doubt. Magnus Mattsson scored twice in the first qualifying round first leg against Drita.

Prediction
Malmö have an unblemished record in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League qualifiers so far. They have won all four qualifying matches in more than convincing style, scoring a total of 11 goals in the process. The reigning Swedish champions have put together an impressive run of ten games without defeat in recent months, winning seven games in a row in all competitions. For this reason, we expect Malmö to get at least a draw on Tuesday and not lose (double chance x1).
Three reasons we expect Double chance x1
- Malmo have won all 4 Champions League qualifying matches in this season so far
- Malmo have won 7 consecutive matches in all competitions
- Malmo are undefeated in 10 consecutive matches in all competitions, of which 7 were played at home
