Malmo take on the visitors Halmstad in the round 13 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Sunday, July 7th at Eleda Stadion (Malmö).
Malmö starts pulling away from competitors. The "Sky Blues" concluded last year with yet another championship title, and it's clear they're determined to retain it this time around. The new season has started with a bang for the favorites, as they managed to win all six of their opening matches, often by large margins, while conceding only once during that stretch. However, they did experience some setbacks. They lost an away match to Elfsborg and had entertaining 2-2 draws in their last away games against Häcken in May and Brommapojkarna at the beginning of summer. Nevertheless, they have managed to gradually widen the gap from Djurgården, and it seems that the other teams are losing their chances for the championship even before the first half of the season ends.

Halmstad maintains mid-table status in modern Swedish football. "Halmstads BK" (HBK) has a history of success, having won the cup and being league champions four times, including in 2000. But there have been tougher times since, with the team only recently, in 2020, getting promoted from Superettan, where they secured first place in Sweden's second division. They've managed to establish themselves in Allsvenskan, finishing last season in 12th place. This season, they've made noticeable improvements, moving into the upper part of the current standings. Notably, after 12 rounds, they have an equal number of wins and losses with no draws. They won four times between the second and fifth rounds but have since only defeated Häcken while suffering four losses. Just before the month-long break in early summer, they achieved a 4-0 thrashing of GAIS.
"HBK" last won against Malmö back in 2008. The last three head-to-head meetings, including a match in the cup in March, resulted in "Sky Blues" securing clean-sheet victories. The champion is in good form and playing on home turf. We recommend betting on Malmö to win this match with a handicap of "-2.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Malmo to win with -2.0 handicap.
