Varbergs BoIS, Recent FormAn important point secured against Kalmar FF will have left Varbergs BoIS quite happy with their 0-0 draw. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Kalmar FF's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Joakim Persson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 2 clean sheets.
There will be mixed feelings from Varbergs, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Malmo FF, Recent FormMalmö FF will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 4-2 home win against Hammarby IF. In that game they recorded 62 % of the possession, with 17 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 13 shots on goal.
Henrik Rydström will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 5 goals during those same matches. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 12 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 when on their travels.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 7 games.
With 9 goals scored in Brentford's last 6 outings in the league, Isaac Thelin has shown a great run of form in finding the back of the net.
Varbergs BoIS will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Malmö FF, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 2-5 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for Himmelsblått in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Varbergs in their last 6 meetings together. Malmö have an impressive record of scoring goals against Varbergs, with a tally of 14 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
Varbergs have lost the last 2 times they've faced Malmö in the league and have failed to win in their last 4 encounters.
Søren Rieks has scored in each of Malmö's last league game against Varbergs.
With Anton Liljenbäck (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Jon Birkfeldt (Ligament) also unavailable in the shorter term, Varbergs manager Joakim Persson will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
Henrik Rydström has a number of injury concerns in his Malmö squad to contend with: Emmanuel Lomotey (Heel), Niklas Moisander (Cruciate ligament), Lasse Nielsen (Head), Søren Rieks (Groin) and Mahamé Siby (Hip)
