Malmo vs AFC Eskilstuna Stats

Malmo stretched their unbeaten run to eight last time out with a 1-0 victory over Kalmar that was their success in the last four. With one-third of the season played (ten of 30 fixtures) they sit top of the table with a record of six wins, three draws and just one defeat. They are among three sides shared with the best defensive record while they have the second-best ranked attack.

At the Swedbank Stadion, they have looked strong with four successive victories and no defeat in five here this season. Marcus Rosenberg has four in his last four at home while Anders Christiansen has two in his last two. No side has scored more at home than the Skåne outfit who have netted 12 times hitting four on two separate occasions.

AFC Eskilstuna drew 1-1 at home to Helsingborg last time out and while it was their second in three to finish all-square it stretches their winless run to nine. They sit second bottom of the table after ten matches which would see them relegated at the end of the season. A lack of goals is a concern with the second lowest tally of nine from these ten games.

Away from Tunavallen, it is played five lost five for Eskilstuna who must improve their road form if they are to have any hope of avoiding the drop. They are conceding on their travels with the 12 goals they have shipped away the joint-worst in the division. In three of their five on the road they have found themselves behind at half-time.

The home team are obvious favourites to win the game and given the gulf in class they should come out comfortable winners. The trick is finding a way to enhance the price on Malmo to win and getting a competitive price. Given the gulf in class and that the Skåne outfit have hit four goals on two seperate occasions at home this season backing team goals looks the way into this. Over 2.5 goals is a solid play while over 3.5 goals looks a value call for the hosts.
