Slavia Prague vs Malmö prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 30, 2025
One of the matches in the final round of the Europa League group stage will be played in Prague, where Slavia will host Swedish Malmö. I suggest a bet with a good coefficient for this match.
Match Preview
Slavia has been showing quite contradictory results in the Europa League. The team started with a confident 2-0 victory over Ludogorets in the first round, followed by a 1-1 draw with Ajax. However, a series of defeats followed, extending to all subsequent matches. The Czechs lost to Atletico Madrid (0-1), Eintracht Frankfurt (0-1), Fenerbahce (1-2), and Anderlecht (1-2).
In the last matchday, the team played an away match against PAOK and lost 0-2. As a result, Slavia dropped to 31st place in the standings, having only 4 points. The gap from the top 24 is five points, and there are no chances left for the knockout stage.
Malmö has earned four points in seven Europa League matches, placing them 32nd in the standings, five points behind the playoff spots. The Swedes managed to secure an away win over Qarabag (2-1) and drew 2-2 at home against Galatasaray.
Last week, Malmö lost at home to Twente (2-3). Throughout the match, the Swedes were constantly chasing the game and were not even close to earning a draw, as their xG was 2.10 compared to 0.76 in favor of Twente. This defeat ended Malmö’s hopes of reaching the top 24.
