Malmö Redhawks vs Frölunda HC SHL Predictions & Betting Tips - Frölunda Attack to Stay Hot


Frölunda's flying attack can continue in Malmö, with Frölunda over 2.5 team goals the standout selection alongside over 5.5 total goals and Frölunda to win.

Frölunda have opened the SHL season with three straight wins and, more importantly for this matchup, have scored at least three goals every time.

They followed a 5-4 opening-night win over Växjö with a 3-2 shootout victory against Färjestad before exploding for a 7-3 road win over Luleå on Thursday. That gives Frölunda 15 goals through three games and an average of exactly five per game.

Malmö's two matches have also been high scoring. They beat HV71 5-4 in overtime before losing 4-3 in overtime to Växjö, meaning both teams have scored at least three goals in each Malmö game this season. Malmö also generated 31 shots against Växjö and led 2-0 and 3-2 before eventually being beaten in overtime.

That makes Frölunda over 2.5 goals the strongest angle, while another game reaching six goals looks very achievable. Frölunda's perfect start also makes the visitors worth backing to eventually get the result in Malmö.


  • Frölunda have scored 15 goals in three SHL matches, averaging 5.0 per game.
  • Frölunda have scored 3+ goals in all three matches this season.
  • Malmö's opening two games have produced nine and seven goals.
  • Malmö have scored three or more and conceded three or more in both of their SHL games.

Malmö Redhawks Form


Malmö have taken three points from their opening two games, although both have required overtime.

The Redhawks won a 5-4 thriller at HV71 before travelling to Växjö and losing 4-3. Malmö were certainly not outplayed in the latter, outshooting Växjö 31-22 and twice holding a two-goal advantage before Växjö fought back.

Lauri Pajuniemi has scored in both games, while Petter Vesterheim also found the net against Växjö after contributing to the opening-night win.

The concern is at the other end. Eight goals conceded through two matches is a dangerous defensive record to take into a meeting with the SHL's hottest attack.

Frölunda HC Form


Frölunda could hardly have made a more convincing attacking start.

They beat Växjö 5-4 and Färjestad 3-2 before producing their best performance of the young season in Thursday's 7-3 victory at Luleå.

Frölunda actually trailed 1-0 after the opening period in Luleå before completely taking over, scoring six times in the second period. Graeme Clarke scored twice and added an assist, while Max Westergård finished with two goals and an assist and Bosse Meijer collected three points.

That result was achieved despite the teams finishing level at 22 shots apiece, illustrating just how clinical Frölunda were once opportunities started opening up.

With 15 goals already and contributions coming from throughout the lineup, Malmö's defence faces its toughest test of the season so far.

Verdict

Frölunda over 2.5 team goals is the main selection, with over 5.5 total goals also supported by the early scoring profiles of both clubs. Take Frölunda to win as the third pick as the visitors look to extend their perfect start.
