Europe - Champions League

Malmo

Prediction :

 

Both teams to score

 

An exciting second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 competition is on the cards as Latvian side FK RFS will host Swedish side Malmo FF on Tuesday. This first-leg match will be played at the LNK Sporta Parks, and our prediction is that both the teams are likely to find the back of the net.

The winner of this two-legged tie proceeds to the third qualifying round of the Champions League, while the loser will be transferred to the Europa League third qualifying round.

RFS won 4-0 away at Metta at the weekend in the domestic league, keeping them just three points behind leaders Riga FC in the standings. It was their eighth win in a row in all competitions, and the home camp will be full of confidence.

That run included a 2-0 aggregate win over Levadia Tallinn in the first qualifying round, so RFS fans will hope to continue their dream run.

Malmo have been a bit more emphatic in their first qualifying round, winning 6-2 by aggregate against Iberia 1999. They won both the legs by a 3-1 scoreline.

The Swedes won 2-0 at the weekend against Oster in the domestic league for a fourth victory in a row in all competitions, so there's enough in their tank to be a force here.
