Ludogorets vs Malmo FF: Prediction and Betting Tips

Ludogorets

Bulgarian champions Ludogorets’ nine-match unbeaten run came to an end last week at the hands of Malmo FF. Indeed the Eagles’ triumph over Olympiacos in the last round was short-lived. In fact, overturning a 2-0 first leg cushion seems a very hard task for coach Dambrauskas’ team. On the positive side though, Ludogorets are unbeaten at home in six matches this season.

During the first leg and despite the Bulgarian champion’s superior ball possession, the home side had many more chances. Nonetheless, Ludogorets did have three goal attempts but that was not enough for them to find the back of the net. On top of that, Coach Dambrauskas has some injury problems to deal with, but he will hope his team can put up a fight.

Ludogorets Key Points

• Ludogorets scored on average 2.2 goals per match in the last ten matches 
• The Eagles have five clean in their last ten matches
• The Bulgarians scored in eight of their last ten matches

 Malmo FF

A 2-0 win in the first leg has kept Malmo one match away from the Champions League group stage. The former European Cup finalists will think that they did enough in the first leg. Consequently, the Swedish champions can afford to lose this match by a one-goal margin. Nonetheless, coach Tomasson must be careful that his team don’t underestimate their opponents. 

As we have seen in their preview, Ludogorets are a very tough side at home. Thus Malmo need to take the Bulgarians very seriously. Then again, the Swedes won three of their last five away games and drew two. Hence, if Tomasson’s team can maintain that form in this match, they will find themselves in the CL group stage this year. That would be their first since the 2015-16 season. 

Malmo Key Points

• Malmo have won their last five away games 
• The Blue Ones scored in nine of their last ten matches
• Tomasson’s team scored on average 2.2 goals per game in their last ten matches. 

Ludogorets vs Malmo FF Prediction

The Bulgarian team need to win by three goals to qualify for the CL group stage. That seems a very difficult task. However, in three of their last five matches, Ludogorets had three wins with three goals or more margins. 

However, Malmo conceded just 0.6 goals per game in their last five away games and had three clean sheets in five games. That makes it very difficult for Ludogorets to achieve their goal. 

Vbet is offering odds of 1.11 for Malmo to qualify. Nonetheless, the odds are very high for the winner with 2.53 for a home win and 2.85 for an away win. 

If we want to be on the safe side we can go with the bet 1 or 2 and under 4.5 goals at Vbet. But a riskier bet is the 1 or x and over 2.5 goals.
