The challenge for Malmö is that their national championship concluded before the November international break, meaning the Swedish club, unlike the Hungarian champions, hasn't had match practice.
Ferencváros drew 3:3 with Diósgyőr on 24 November. Such a high-scoring result is not usually common for the team in green, but a total over 2.5 occurs in the majority of their matches. For instance, it has happened in six of their last ten encounters. Moreover, Ferencváros have been unbeaten for over a month now, spanning eight matches.
Malmö clinched the Allsvenskan title for the second consecutive time, but this time with a significant margin (11 points) rather than just on goal difference. In the Swedish league, they remained undefeated in their last 13 matches, while in the Europa League, they had only a single victory against Qarabag (2:1). What distinguishes Malmö is that they have scored more than two goals per game in five of their last eight matches.
These clubs have not met before. The Ferencváros are considered the favourites, as they defeated strong Nice (1:0) and thrashed Dynamo Kyiv away (4:0). We will bet that the Hungarian side will not lose, and the match will be high-scoring.
