In the fight that Volkswagen Arena Stadium will host on the evening of Thursday, February 20, Wolfsburg and Malmö will face the first matches of UEFA Europa League Final 32 Round.
Wolfsburg :
Wolfsburg will be uplifted to the European scene. Oliver Glasner and his students, who completed the last 3 weeks of the Bundesliga in Germany, have reached 3-2 wins at the Hoffenheim away last weekend. If we examine the host’s UEFA Europa League adventure, they were in the same group as Gent, Saint Etienne and Oleksandria, with 11 points, they rose from the 2nd to the next round. At the end of 6 games, the team lost their single defeat against the leader Gent, and performed a group performance that would not be taken lightly. Wout Weghorst on the Wolfsburg front is the team’s top scorer with 14 goals scored after 28 games. The only missing injury to Malmö in the host match is Ignacio Camacho, who continues his injury.
Malmö :
Malmö missed the championship in the Swedish Allsvenskan League, and turned its route into the UEFA Europa League. The guest team, who gave the final exam within the scope of the league in November 2019, collected 65 points at the end of 30 weeks, and finished the season in the 2nd place, 1 point behind the leader Djurgarden. The bill for the championship missed on the Malmö front was cut to the technical man, and while Uwe Rösler was dismissed, Jon Dahl Tomasson took the lead. The guest team, which will give its first exam under the leadership of the new coach on the European stage, played 6 matches in the UEFA Europa League Group B under Rosler, and defeated against Dynamo Kiev only in the first week, while the remaining 5 matches made 3 wins and 2 draws. We can say that the biggest question mark before the tough Wolfsburg displacement on the Malmö front is that the team did not show up in official matches for a long time. I think that the team, which entered a new structuring with the end of the season, is very open to error in its first match.
Wolfsburg will take advantage of its home advantage and take its rise to the European stage. The visiting team, Malmö, will experience the disadvantage of the shortcoming this week.
PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win @ 1,55
