Malmo vs Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag Prediction and Betting Tips | July 23rd 2024

Malmo get their UEFA Champions League qualification campaign underway when they play host to Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag in the first leg of their second-round clash on Tuesday. Espen Haug’s men journey to the Eleda Stadium unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions and will be looking to claim a first-leg advantage.

Malmo returned to winning ways on Friday when they secured a pulsating 4-3 victory over Sirius at the Studenternas IP in the Swedish Allsvenskan.

This followed a 2-1 defeat against Mjallby at the Strandvallen on July 13 which saw their eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end.

Malmo, who currently hold a seven-point lead at the top of the Allsvenskan table, will now look to keep the juggernaut rolling as they kickstart their quest for a Champions League spot.

Klaksvikar Itrottarfelag, on the other hand, secured a 2-0 aggregate victory over Differdange in the first round of the Champions League qualifiers.

Haug’s men picked up a 2-0 first-leg victory over Differdange on July 10, one week before holding out for a goalless draw in the return leg in Luxembourg.

Klaksvikar head into Tuesday’s clash unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions, claiming three wins and one draw since June’s 3-0 loss against Torshavn.
