- Competition: Sweden - Allsvenskan
- Date: Saturday, 12th, July 2025
- Kickoff: 16:30 UK / 17:30 CEST
- Venue: Eleda Stadion (Malmo)
Looking to get their title bid back on track, Malmo FF host a faltering Norrkoping side at Eleda Stadion this Saturday in the Allsvenskan.
With the first half of the campaign now in the books, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Malmo FF may be forced to surrender their crown after two years of dominance, as a frustrating goalless draw with GAIS has now left them trailing league leaders Mjallby by a massive ten points.
On the flip side, Norrkoping find themselves uncomfortably close to the danger zone after their slump stretched further with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Brommapojkarna last time out, so a turnaround in form is becoming increasingly crucial given the slender two-point cushion above the drop line.
Malmo FF vs Norrkoping Betting Tips : UNDER 3.5
Neither side can claim to be in sparkling form of late, but Malmo FF simply have to iron out their recent stumbles if they want to keep their dream of a third straight Allsvenskan crown alive, and Saturday’s error-prone opposition could be just what they need to steady the ship. Should Himmelsblatt find a way to secure victory, it will probably be by a slender scoreline, given their recent struggles in the final third, but despite that downturn in offensive threat, they should still have just enough to edge this one out. With a misfiring frontline and a well-organized backline, Malmo’s recent league outings have been anything but goal-heavy, which further supports the idea of a narrow home victory in Saturday’s clash at Eleda. Given that Norrkoping have looked shaky across the board and are currently stuck in a four-game winless run, it’s difficult to envision them causing serious problems for a win-hungry Malmo side that has all the tools to carve out a narrow but deserved victory.
