Malmo Team Overview
Malmö are the most decorated club in Sweden, with 24 league titles. This season, though, they have just 23 points and sit ninth. In late May the club sacked Miguel Ángel Ramírez - the Spaniard lasted nine rounds and ended his spell with four consecutive defeats. From 30 June the team has been managed by Gaute Helstrup, previously an assistant to Kjetil Knutsen at Bodø/Glimt. On the positive side, Malmö's attack is functioning: 31 goals this season, the third-best figures in Allsvenskan. It doesn't always hold up, though - on 12 July they thrashed IFK Göteborg (4:0), then a month later conceded twice to Degerfors and lost 1:2. That said, GAIS have already felt the force of this attack - in April Malmö won 3:1, with all three goals coming before half-time.

Editor's Pick
Malmö have scored in 22 consecutive Allsvenskan matches, and away from home that run stretches to 15 games. They are particularly dangerous after the break, finding the net in the second half in 7 of their last 8 league matches. On the other side, the same consistency applies - GAIS have scored in 11 of 12 Allsvenskan rounds. And Malmö have no shortage of goals: at least three in 10 of their last 11 league matches. So we don't expect things to be settled by just two goals. The bet is total over 2.5. Predicted score - 2:1.
