Malmö vs Norrköping Prediction and Betting Tips

Malmö will host Norrköping at the Eleda Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Swedish Allsvenskan campaign. The hosts will be desperate to return to winning ways and push higher up the table after a disappointing first half of the season.

Malmö only managed to pick up a point as they featured in a goalless draw against GAIS last weekend, leaving them fifth in the league table. The Blue Ones have been underwhelming so far this season with only six victories from 15 league outings and will need to put together a good run of results in the second half of the season to stand a chance of earning European qualification.

Norrköping also have just one win in their last five but are in much worse position going into the weekend as they sit only two points above the relegation zone. Peking were edged in their 1-0 loss to Brommapojkarna last time out through an 88th-minute winner and will hope to put up a much better performance against the defending champions on Saturday.
