Malmo vs Norrkoping prediction, preview, team news and more | Allsvenskan 2022-23

Malmo will welcome Norrkoping to the Eleda Stadion for a matchday 22 fixture in the Allsvenskan on Sunday.

The home side fell to a 2-0 defeat against Braga at the same ground in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Bruno Rodrigues and Rafael Horta scored in either half to help the Portuguese outfit claim all three points.

Norrkoping were rampant in a surprise 4-1 bashing of Hammarby on home turf in league action last weekend. The visitors took the lead in the first half through an own goal by Ari Skulason but Arnor Sigurdsson's second-half brace from the spot inspired a remarkable turnaround.

The victory helped Kamraterna pull further clear of the relegation zone. They currently sit in 11th spot on 24 points, while Malmo occupy seventh spot with 34 points to their name.
