Clashes between GAIS and Malmö have always been tough, even though the Blue Ones are unbeaten in six of their last seven games. With this, I expect this game to follow the same tough outcome and a possible draw is expected in this game. Both sides are following each other on the table, and the recent performance of the hosts does not point to a loss for them. So, a share of points is the best way to separate the two teams.
