Malmö FF - GAIS predictions

Malmö FF are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. GAIS may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

At 3.60 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive GAIS are well aware of it themselves.

The home team will be riding a wave of optimism following their latest Allsvenskan outing. Malmö FF held their guard high up and caught their rivals by surprise after claiming a first-half lead. Winning this game at 2.73 betting odds would have been a big surprise. And it’s fair to say Malmö FF came quite close to grabbing it. However, they failed to hold on to the lead and were forced to settle for a Häcken draw.

GAIS hit a brick wall last time they hosted Öster as neither of the teams was able to break the stalemate for more than 90 minutes. We can assume neither was happy with the 1:1 result, though it reflects more poorly on GAIS who were hard favourites.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. Malmö FF conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Swedbank Stadion.

GAIS don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

GAIS and Malmö FF tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Malmö FF are still considered more likely to come out on top this Sunday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

Sunday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

Our research suggests that Both Teams to Score is a very probable outcome for this match. It’s offered at odds of 1 at 1xbet, which is fairly strong in terms of value as well. BTTS is both safe and valuable here – what’s not to like?
