Malmo vs Norrkoping Prediction
Malmo vs Norrkoping Prediction and Betting Tips for Saturday’s Allsvenskan fixture at the Eleda Stadium. The reigning champions are looking to bounce back and push for the top spots, while the visitors continue their battle to steer clear of the drop zone. In this article, we’ll share our Allsvenskan Predictions powered by stats and trends you shouldn’t miss.
- Malmo are aiming to close a 10-point gap at the top of the Allsvenskan.
- Norrkoping have not won in the league since May, struggling for consistency.
- Malmo boast the joint-second-best defensive record in the league.
- High corner stats point to another open encounter.
Malmo head into this clash as Sweden’s most decorated club, but this season has been far from smooth sailing. Henrik Rydstrom’s men have struggled for consistency, sitting fifth with 24 points from 15 games, trailing leaders Mjallby by 10. Their goalless draw with GAIS last Friday was a reminder that despite a solid defence — conceding just 0.57 goals on average — they need to find their attacking spark. With Isaac Kiese Thelin leading the line, Malmo’s fans expect more, especially at home where they’ve collected 14 points from seven matches.
Midweek continental action saw Malmo beat Iberia 3-1 in the Champions League qualifiers, which should lift morale heading into Saturday. However, the side will be without several key players due to injury, including Pontus Jansson and Martin Olsson, putting extra pressure on youngsters to step up. Home form remains Malmo’s biggest asset, backed by an impressive average of 7.57 corners won per match — a key stat for bettors eyeing corner markets.
Norrkoping, meanwhile, continue to slide after their last win came in mid-May against Sirius. Martin Falk’s side sit 12th with just 15 points from 14 games and have struggled at both ends of the pitch, conceding 1.67 goals per game. Their away record is mixed at best with two wins from six matches, but they can take some confidence from Christoffer Nyman’s goalscoring form. The 32-year-old striker has netted 11 times in 15 appearances, providing a vital outlet for a side that needs goals to avoid being dragged deeper into relegation danger.
With one of the league’s leakiest defences and a tendency to concede late, Norrkoping could find it tough to contain Malmo’s push for points. The visitors average 11.5 corners per match, the highest in the league alongside Malmo, pointing to an end-to-end battle. While recent head-to-head stats are firmly in Malmo’s favour — five straight wins scoring 16 goals — fans can expect an entertaining clash with chances at both ends. Stay tuned for more Allsvenskan Predictions throughout the season at XpertStats.
Malmo have won each of their last five matches against Norrkoping, scoring a remarkable 16 goals in that period while conceding just a handful. The reigning champions may not be top this season, but their defensive solidity at home (only 0.57 goals conceded per match on average) gives them a clear edge. With Isaac Kiese Thelin leading the line and Oliver Berg fit to contribute in attack, Malmo’s goal threat should be too much for a Norrkoping side who haven’t won in the league since May. Injuries might hit Malmo’s depth, but their home record remains solid, with 14 points from seven matches. Norrkoping, meanwhile, have the joint-third worst defensive record in the league, conceding 25 goals in 14 games. Backing Malmo to win is supported by their head-to-head dominance and superior all-round stats, making this a strong pick for Saturday’s clash.
Backing over 9.5 corners in this game makes sense given both sides’ strong stats in this market. Malmo average 10.71 corners per match, winning an impressive 7.57 themselves, while conceding over three. Meanwhile, Norrkoping games average 11.5 corners, with the visitors conceding an average of 9.17 per game. These numbers show both teams are involved in open matches with high attacking intent and plenty of wing play generating corners. Malmo, playing at home and pushing for points, should dominate possession and rack up corner kicks, especially with players like Thelin and Berg threatening in the box. Norrkoping’s defensive setup often sees them forced deep, inviting more pressure and corners conceded. With 71% of Malmo matches and 67% of Norrkoping matches hitting over 9.5 corners, the trend is clear. Backing this market offers good value for Saturday’s match.
