Copenhagen vs Malmo Prediction and Betting Tips | August 12th 2025

Copenhagen will welcome Malmo to Parken in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round on Tuesday. The first leg in Sweden last week ended in a goalless draw.

The hosts suffered their first defeat of the 2025-26 season on Friday as they fell to a 3-2 home loss to AGF in the Danish Superliga. Jordan Larsson and Magnus Mattsson added goals late in the second half, but the hosts failed to overturn a three-goal deficit.

The visitors suffered their first loss since May last week, as they lost 3-1 at home to league leaders Mjällby in the Allsvenskan. Kenan Busuladžić scored the consolation goal in the 70th minute.

Løverne last qualified for the Champions League in the 2023-24 season and made it to the round of 16. Himmelsblått, meanwhile, were last in the group stage in the 2021-22 campaign.

Copenhagen vs Malmo Prediction

The Lions suffered their first loss of the season last week and will look to bounce back here. Notably, their three losses in competitive games in 2025 have been registered at home. Interestingly, they have won just one of their eight meetings against Swedish teams, which is a cause for concern.

The Sky Blues saw their unbeaten streak end after 11 games last week, though that loss was registered at home. Their last away loss across all competitions was registered in May. They have lost just one of their eight meetings against Danish teams, recording four wins.

The Lions have won their last four home games in European qualifiers, keeping three consecutive clean sheets, and should be able to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Copenhagen 2-1 Malmo
