Malmo goals handicap (-1.5)
Although the Zalgiris are in fine shape, the hosts are clear favorites to win this matchup. Moreover, they have scored at least 3 goals in their previous three home matches.
Both to score – Yes
It will be a tough game, that’s for sure, with both sides trying to outsmart their opponents tactically. The hosts will look for an early lead, while Zalgiris will hope to keep possession of the ball and rely on counter-attacks.
In the last 6 matches, Malmo scored 14 goals, while the Lithuanian side found the net 12 times. Even though in the previous three h2h meetings, only two goals were scored. We expect a change of trend in this meeting.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Malmo vs Zalgiris
Malmo’s defeat in the first leg came as a surprise. The Swedish team had better ball possession than the hosts but couldn’t at least steal a point.
However, despite the loss, Malmo will be optimistic on home ground, as they have been undefeated at Eleda stadium matches games since the middle of February.
As we know, away goals rule was lifted from all European competitions since the start of the season 2020. Thus, if the hosts secure a narrow win, it will go to extra time.

On the other hand, Zalgiris took a huge step towards the UEFA Champions League 3rd round after registering narrow win against Malmo (1:0).
Despite having less share of ball possession against Malmo, the Lithuanians were the more dangerous side. Markedly, Zalgiris had 14 goal attempts, of which five were on target.
The one-goal advantage could give Zalgiris more confidence before the second-leg clash.
