The visiting team comes into this second match off a solid 3‑1 win in their first match of this group stage against FC Iberia 1999. They continue to perform well after a recent 2‑0 victory against Öster. In total, Malmö has achieved 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 matches across all competitions.
Malmö enters this second qualification match for the Champions League with confidence after overcoming Iberia in the previous round. Their domestic campaign is also progressing well, following a solid win against Öster. Typically lining up in a 4-3-3 formation, Malmö is expected to field a forward trio comprising Isaac Kiese Thelin, Oliver Berg, and Hugo Bolin. At the heart of their strategy, Maestro Otto Rosengran plays a crucial role in orchestrating the team’s offence. However, the squad will be missing Martin Olsson, Johan Dahlin, Anders Christiansen, Pontus Jansson, Erik Botheim, and Gentian Lajqi due to injuries.
