Halmstad – Malmo FF

Halmstad host Malmö FF at Orjans Vall with a clear gap between the tables to consider – the hosts sit 16th with just 14 points from 24 games, having scored only 16 while conceding 45, whereas Malmö sit comfortably in seventh place on 36 points, boasting a positive goal difference of +4 (38‑34). The stark contrast in form is evident: Halmstad have managed only three wins and five draws, while Malmö have collected eleven victories and three stalemates. For Halmstad, the challenge will be to tighten a leaky defence and turn their low‑scoring record around against a side that has proven capable of finding the net more often. Malmö, meanwhile, will look to extend their mid‑table surge and keep the pressure on the leaders by picking up three points on the road.
