Malmo is in excellent form and will undoubtedly aim to secure maximum points today. The level and condition of their opponent allow them to set high expectations. It’s clear that the focus for the Blues will be on their attack, and it's unlikely that Rangers will hold them scoreless today. However, the Gers play boldly and openly, consistently scoring, so netting at least one goal against them is within reach.
We believe there will be goals in this match. Our prediction is both teams to score. This bet offers a odds of 1.75.
Outcome Bet
Malmo is clearly the favorite at home where they traditionally perform strongly. In terms of player selection, they match their opponents well. Rangers have struggled in qualification, often facing setbacks against similarly skilled teams, as highlighted in their matchup against Dynamo Kyiv. It makes sense to favor the hosts.
