Malmö vs Linköping Tips and Predictions
I’m backing Malmö to score over 2.5 team goals on Tuesday. Linköping have found a bit of life with two straight wins, but they’re still giving plenty away at the other end. I’d rather take the hosts to score three than get too caught up in picking the winner.
Malmö have reached three goals in six of their 11 games, while Linköping have conceded 18 across their last five. The visitors are looking more dangerous going forward, but that hasn’t made their defence one I’m keen to trust. There should be chances here, and I’m backing Malmö to take enough of them.
Fredrik Karlström has been pulling the strings for Linköping, collecting four assists across his last three appearances. He has eight points in 11 games and has made the scoresheet in six of those matches. With the visitors finding their feet, I’m backing Karlström to keep things moving with another point.
Brendan Shinnimin is my anytime goalscorer selection. He has scored three times across his last two appearances, helping give Linköping’s attack a welcome lift. Malmö haven’t exactly shut the door this season, and I’m taking Shinnimin to make his presence felt again.
Key Stats and Trends
- Malmö have scored at least three goals in six of their 11 games.
- Linköping have conceded 18 goals across their last five matches.
- Fredrik Karlström has five points across his last five appearances.
- Karlström has recorded a point in six of 11 games this season.
- Brendan Shinnimin has scored three goals across his last two appearances.
Linköping Form
Linköping have put consecutive wins together after losing their previous three games. They remain near the bottom with four victories from 11, but those latest results have given them a chance to get their season moving in the right direction.
Karlström has supplied five points across his last five appearances, while Shinnimin has scored in consecutive games. There is more happening in the attack now, but keeping the puck out remains the problem.
Linköping have conceded 36 goals in 11 games, leaving themselves plenty of work to do even when the forwards deliver.
Malmö Form
Malmö have been up and down, with two wins, two regulation defeats and an overtime or shootout loss across their last five games. They have scored 15 goals during that stretch, but conceded 13, which is why I prefer backing their attack to trusting them to win.
Carl Persson leads their goalscoring with five, while Janne Kuokkanen and Lauri Pajuniemi have eight points apiece. Kuokkanen has collected five points across his last five appearances, giving Malmö another player who is getting involved regularly.
With Linköping still allowing chances, the hosts have enough going forward to make this an uncomfortable evening for the visitors.
Verdict
Malmö over 2.5 team goals is my main pick, with Fredrik Karlström to record a point and Brendan Shinnimin to score as separate selections. My score prediction is a 3–2 home win.
