Sivasspor will take on Malmo in the second leg UEFA Europa League qualification finals. First leg result: 1-3. The match will take place at Yeni4 Eylul Stadyumu, Sivasspor (Thursday, August 25th). The new season has been difficult for
SIVASspor. The Superlig’s “Brave” finished very low in the last draw. They were in the top 10 in the final standings. They were also able to win the cup. This was the first trophy in 55 years of the project’s history. The Turks are still a small team. They started the new season with 0-4 in Super Cup with Trabzonspor. Then there were failures during the first round of the new championship. It was almost the same story, but it didn’t work out at all. They must win by at least 2 goals to transfer the dispute to overtime.
malmo has had a difficult year. The “Sky Blue”, one of the most powerful clubs in the country. They reached the final of the European Champions Cup in 1979. There are plenty of trophies within the domestic arena. It was possible to win 2 “golds” consecutively in 2020 and 2021 and be able to play on the main stage of the Champions League. All these were Jon-Dal Tomasson’s achievements. The Dane, however, has moved to England and is now living in Blackburn. It was impossible to replace him entirely. The club was also in recession in Allsvenskan, although not one that was particularly severe. The Champions League saw the Scandinavians barely passing Vikingur Reykjavik (3-2-3, 3-3) and then flew to Zalgiris, where they lost both matches to the Lithuanians. The Swedes are now in the Europa League and have defeated one opponent. Dudelange won the first match 3-0. They then finished in Luxembourg at 2-2. The match against Sivasspor ended slightly worse but was still quite confident: the Turks lost 3-1. You can lose now, but only minimally.
SIVASSTOR used to be a very small club in Turkish football. It is therefore not surprising that the Turks visited Malmo last week. The odds of winning are about equal, but there is no interest in going any further. The proposal is “total less that 2.5 goals”.
Prediction: The match will be scored at less than 2.5 goals.
