Mjallby take on the visitors Malmo in the round 14 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Saturday, July 13th at Strandvallen (Hällevik).
Mjällby were playing in the second division of the country not so long ago. However, they have recently improved. Last season, they finished only in 10th place in Allsvenskan, but it was coupled with their first-ever appearance in the cup final – although that ended in defeat. This season, they have sharply improved in the league, winning more than half of their matches. There have been setbacks, with two consecutive losses in late April and another losing streak at the end of spring against Göteborg away and Djurgården at home. But after that, they managed three consecutive victories. Before the break, they won 2-1 at home against Häcken and by the same score away against Värnamo. After the June break, on Saturday, they secured a late penalty to win 3-2 at home against Sirius, allowing them to jump to second place.

Malmö does not feel much competition. The Sky Blues have often dominated Swedish football in recent years. They won the championship title in 2023 and can now afford to focus on preparing for the upcoming Champions League qualifiers – all domestic challengers have fallen significantly behind. This is largely due to the efforts of Tolin and his team, who have had a very strong first half of the national championship. They started with six consecutive victories, conceding only one goal, then they lost 1-3 to Elfsborg, but after that, there were only a couple of high-scoring draws and new victories, often very confident ones. In the last round, they thrashed Halmstad 5-1 at home. Tolin himself scored a goal and provided an assist in that match, making his tally 11 goals and 4 assists in 13 matches!
Both encounters last season were won by the Yellows. Moreover, the Sky Blues have won only one of their last five meetings. The visitors are clearly stronger right now and should improve their statistics in these duels. We bet on the champion to win on the field of one of their toughest pursuers.
Prediction for the match: Malmo to win.
