Malmo FF vs PAOK Prediction & Tips
We’re off to Sweden for one of the Champions League play-off matches. The team and city made famous by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Malmö will be looking to get the better of PAOK Salonika in the first leg of this third round tie. A reaction from the Swedes is expected from the start of the game, as the last 180 minutes did not reassure any fans before kick-off. Indeed, Henrydk Rydtrom’s side have just lost two games in a row, while conceding three goals against Klaksvik last week. Quite simply, if the Blue & Whites suffer any further defensive problems at home, the advantage could be lost on Tuesday evening. It’s up to the home side to take advantage of the twelfth man to get off to the best possible start on the European stage!
Unlike their opponents, the Greek club have prepared perfectly for this duel. Despite a difficult period of preparation in mid-July, Razvan Lucescu’s men recorded two consecutive European Cup wins to set themselves up against Malmö. What’s more, the double-headed Eagles won away from home on the 31st of the month to confirm their qualification. Suffice to say, a positive result away from home doesn’t scare the black-and-whites. If they can keep up this positive momentum, the Greeks could well be in with a win come the final whistle.
