In the preliminary tour of the Champions League, starting at 18:15, Malmo FF – MOL Vidi will be played. The confrontation will take place on the “Swedbank Stadion”.
The Swedes have eliminated it in the previous round on CFR Cluj, at the end of a quite disputed double hat. After being forced to move to the limit, score 1-0, they were satisfied only with a tie result in the second hand. Djokovic opened the score for Cluj in the 36th minute, but Traustason closed the table twenty minutes later. Released earlier this year from Rapid Vienna, the 25-year-old midfielder scored for the second time in the European Cups. He had already pinpointed in the victory at Drita.
Thus, Malmo continued to have a good track record on his own, where he scored eight victories, four draws and a defeat. Only in four of these games the table suffered more than two changes.
On the other side, the guest band produced the surprise in double with Ludogorets. After resisting the Razgrad assault, scoring a 0-0, he landed on his own field thanks to Hadzic’s 45th minute victory. What’s right, in the 40th minute they evolved with an extra man after eliminating Vura, but the performance remains one notable. Thus, MOL Vidi remained unbeaten in the six games disputed at the start of this season and now forces the Champions League play-off for the first time in history. However, in the last 11 Champions League tours he scored only one success, 3-0 with Kalju (Estonia). Instead, in five of these games the offensive did not find the road to the opponent’s goal.
This will be the first direct confrontation between the two bands.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.76
