Will Malmo Take Control of Tie Before Home Leg?

RFS are the Latvian champions after winning the title for a third time in four seasons. Viktors Morozs has done a remarkable job with the Riga club since taking over in 2020, guiding Rigas to a hatful of domestic trophies.  

RFS also won the Latvian Cup and Latvian Supercup last term. In Europe, however, they were knocked out of the Champions League in qualifying and failed to get past the league phase in the UEFA Europa League.

Malmo are the 2024 Allsvenskan champions, finishing 11 points clear of second-place Hammarby. It was a dominant season for Henrik Rydstrom’s men, as Malmo won 19 of their 30 league fixtures.

The Blue Ones were also eliminated from the Champions League in the qualifiers, losing to Sparta Prague in the play-off round. They struggled with the new Europa League format, finishing in 31st place with just five points to their name. The Swedish champions are hoping to fare better in Europe this time around.

RFS vs Malmo Betting Odds

RFS are not an easy nut to crack on their own patch, but the Latvians are the underdogs in this European tie. You can get 3.65 for Rigas to take a lead to Sweden.

Malmo are gunning for two wins from this two-legged fixture, and the Swedish champions are priced at 2.02 to secure a first-leg victory. Additionally, the draw is available at 3.20.
