Gefle – Malmo

Gefle Malmo betting previewBoth teams are in huge need for points here, but for different reasons. While Malmo is in an incredibly tight fight for the championship (7 teams separated by 7 points), the hosts are fighting for their lives in the Allsvenskan, being tied for the relegation playoff spot with another two teams. Gefle is also just one point above direct relegation, so they really need points at the moment.

Malmo is currently on the second place, trailing Helsinborgs by two points. As I said above, they have immense competition for the first places, with a bunch of very good teams in Allsvenskan this year. The visitors are in impeccable form, winning all their last 5 matches in all competitions, including a historic 7-0 win away against Hibernians (Scotland) in Europa league four days ago. Malmo didn`t concede a single goal in the last 4 games. This is a team with a lot of quality, with a number of national-team level players, and they are in fantastic shape at the moment.

No notable injury news for the visitors.

Another thing that Malmo has going its way today is the fact that they are a very good away team, they won 4 of the 7 away games played this season, and they could have had more wins, as they had some unlucky breaks in some matches. They have been dominant and convincing in their away games.

Gefle is fighting for relegation, they don`t have such a good squad this year, especially compared to last season when they were actually pretty good … they qualified for Europe this season. The hosts sold a number of players and they are far away from the level showed in the previous seasons. I think they are still good enough to save themselves from second league football next season, but just barely. They are absolutely horrific in offense, they can`t create any chances and it`s no wonder they have the worst attack in the league (only 12 goals scored in 16 rounds). Form – wise, they managed to knock out Anorthosis from Europa League after two crazy games (0-3 away, 4-0 at home) but, get this, they are on a 13 match winless run in the Allsvenskan. 13 games! There were 8 draws and 5 defeats in this time span. Gefle also has a couple of injuries/ suspensions for today.

Malmo is playing incredible football at the moment and if they keep this up they will win the league. They can win against any swedish team, anywhere, and Gefle at the moment is nowhere near a quality opponent for them. It`s a must win for Malmo and I expect them to complete the job, they should not concede any goals and over the course of 90 minutes they will surely score at least one time. Three points here are vital for Malmo and I don`t see them wasting this opportunity in a game they have every chance to win. Expect the visitors to frustrate Gefle with their tight defense and to score as much as they need to in this game. They are way over average Allsvenskan level at the moment.

My call would be something like 2-0 for the visitors. Good luck.
