On Wednesday evening, Malmo will host Helsingborg in the Swedish Allsvenskan, as the home team look to continue their recent good form in the Swedish top-flight.
Malmo are enjoying a strong campaign in the Allsvenskan and are currently sitting second in the table. Jon Dahl Tomasson’s team heads into this clash on the back of a six-game unbeaten run, including winning their previous five matches in the Swedish top-flight.
Unsurprisingly, considering their head coach, the home team has been prolific in front of goal of late, scoring at least two goals in their previous five league outings. Their prolific displays in front of goal have contributed to over 2.5 goals being scored in their last five matches in the Allsvenskan.
Malmo have been strong on home soil dating back to last season, as they are unbeaten in ten games, having recorded eight wins in the process. They have also scored at least twice in five of their last seven league games on home soil.
The recent history of this fixture is very much on the home team’s side, as Malmo have won five of the last six meetings in all competitions.
