Malmo FF vs KI Klaksvik Prediction: 23/7/2024

After a two-year hiatus, Malmo is poised to make a return to the Champions League, starting with the 2nd qualifying round where they will face KI Klaksvik in the opening leg. Here’s a detailed look at the stats and a prediction for the match.

Malmo has been impressive in their domestic league, and they aim to bring that momentum into their European campaign. Their recent 4-2 comeback victory against Sirius widened their lead to seven points. This win showcased their scoring prowess but also highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities.

In their last 26 competitive matches, Malmo has consistently found the back of the net. This scoring streak has contributed to their strong form, with only one loss in their past nine games. However, their record in the Champions League is less stellar, with just one win in their last 11 matches in the competition.

KI Klaksvik entered the Champions League at the 1st qualifying round, advancing by defeating Differdange 03 with a 2-0 aggregate score. This will be their first-ever encounter with Malmo, and they are aware that this match will be more challenging than their previous round.

Domestically, KI Klaksvik isn’t as robust as Malmo, which might impact their performance in this game. Nonetheless, they can draw confidence from their current unbeaten streak of four matches, in which they secured three wins and only failed to score once.

Their recent away performance in the Champions League has been mixed. In their last six away games, they conceded two or more goals in four matches, kept two clean sheets, and failed to score in three.
