Game info IFK Norrkoeping vs Malmoe FF

 

After a stage breakthrough in the European Champions League qualifiers,  Malmö will  have to play away from home to recover at Allsvenskan, as it is the big  title favourite in theory and now ranks fifth in the tournament. The match is scheduled for this Saturday, July 16. The clash, which will take place at the Östgötaporten Stadium in  Norrkoeping, is on the agenda of the fourteenth round of the Swedish Championship.  Departure is scheduled to start at 13:00 UTC

 

IFK Norrkoeping

IFK Norrkoeping has a lot of tradition in the country, mainly because they have already won the most important title among the Swedes (Allsvenskan) 13 times, in addition to 6 other opportunities having lifted the cup of the Swedish Cup (Svenska Cupen). However, the team's performance in the current season is not the one desired by its fans nor by its board, since they are close to the relegation qualifiers in the table.

 

With only 16 points in the table (4 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses) and being 11th among the 16 teams, the IFK Norrkoeping team continues to run the risk of getting closer and closer to the risk zone, being only 6 points ahead of of the GIF Sundsvall club, which is in the position (13th). Both in the offensive and defensive parts, they show average numbers, where they scored 16 goals and conceded 15 in Allsvenskan, thus having a positive balance of 1 goal.

 

As home team, playing with the support of their fans has not greatly improved the team's performance, since in 6 games played in their stadium they won exactly half the points they have today (8 points), with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

 

 

Malmöe FF

 As much as they are in the fifth place of Allsvenskan, Sweden's most traditional team is just 4 points behind leader Hacken and tied with the third best placed in the table in number of points (24 each). Coming from a hard-fought victory on penalties in a match valid for the European Champions League qualifiers against Vikingur, Malmo is still packed in the season and with few defeats in the year. Now, as much as they remain focused on the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, it's time for the country's top team to spare no tactics at Allsvenskan and start advancing in the table, as at the beginning of the season they had also focused on the Svenska Cupen (Swedish Cup) and have been saving starters for the Swedish championship ever since.

 

As stated above, Malmö is the most traditional and respected team in the country, being the biggest winners of the Swedish Championship (Allsvenskan) with 22 titles won and seeking the third in a row. In the current competition, Malmö has exactly 24 points (7 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses) and is in 5th position after 14 games played. It is worth mentioning that they have medium numbers in attack and defense, with a positive goal balance of 5 goals in the table.

 

As a visitor, Malmö FF's numbers are much worse than when they play with the support of their fans. Conquering just 11 points (three wins, two draws and two defeats) in seven away matches in the current season. When they play away from home, the problem is mainly in the offensive part, where they tend to score fewer goals.
