Porto – Malmö. Forecast and announcement for the Europa League match

On December 11, in the framework of the Europa League, Porto – Malmö will meet. The match is scheduled to start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Porto

“Dragons are playing strong and stable this season, they have enough strength for European Cups and the championship. In the Portuguese championship, Porto is the leader after 13 rounds, with 12 wins and one draw, the gap from the nearest pursuer is already five points, but the whole struggle is still ahead.

Porto holds the record in the Europa League, where it is eighth, having collected 10 points in five matches. The team should go to the playoffs without any problems, but it is desirable to do it from the top 8. In the last round, the club dealt with French Nice – 3:0. Porto are very strong at home, having only suffered one defeat at home in the Portuguese League Cup against Guimarães. De Jong Karamo and Perez will not help their partners in the upcoming match.

Malmö

The Swedish club is going through a difficult period, only one point in five meetings of the Europa League, without much prospects of getting into the playoffs. In the last round, Malmö lost away to Nottingham Forest with a score of 0:3. If the failure in the European Cups can somehow be justified, after all, there is a serious level of competition, the sixth place in the domestic arena is a real disaster, in this position the club finished the championship a month ago.

Judging by everything, the football players are in a “good mood”, they have to finish the matches in the Europa League, after which they will have a vacation. Ali, Dalton, Laiki, Rosengren, Sigurdsson and Bolin will not be on the field in the upcoming match.

Forecast

Even without quotations, it is clear that the probability of victory for the hosts is higher, Porto is in good shape, playing at home, and it will be difficult for the guests to put up a serious resistance. Bookmakers estimate the teams’ chances with decent odds: 1.2 for Porto and 13.49 for Malmo.

The teams have never played each other before. “Dragons” should take three points in such a match, the main question is how confident their victory will be. The option with a bet on the success of the home team with a handicap of -1.5 goals for 1.65 looks good.
