Halmstads vs Malmö Prediction: An easy win for the league leaders

Struggling Halmstads will welcome league leaders Malmö to the Örjans Vall on Saturday. Malmo are unbeaten in their last 23 games against Halmstads. Can they continue this dominance? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Halmstads

LLLWL

Halmstads suffered a 4-1 defeat in their last game against Brommapojkarna. They have now lost 5 of their last six games. They are winless in 7 of their last eight games. They have conceded in 6 of their last seven games. However, at home, they are unbeaten in 4 of their last five games. They sit 11th on the table with 21 points in 17 games, scoring 21 goals and conceding 31. Meanwhile, Naeem Mohammed is ruled out of this clash due to an ACL injury.

Malmö

DWLWL

Despite firing 16 shots in their last game, Malmö suffered a 1-0 loss to Sirius. In midweek, they were held to a 2-2 draw by PAOK in the first leg of the Champions League qualification semifinal. They sit first in the league with 38 points in 17 games, scoring 44 and conceding 16. However, Otto Rosengren (accumulated yellow cards), Niklas Moisander (knee surgery), Anton Tinnerholm (groin injury), and Stefano Vecchia (back injury) will all miss this clash.

Expert Betting Tips

Halmstads are experiencing difficulties at the moment, and their current form is nothing to get a point from the league leaders. With this, I expect an easy win for the visitors right from the first 45 minutes. They should also keep a clean sheet.
