Chelsea have a goal advantage in this match and have tough games against Man City and Tottenham coming up. Malmo have lost just one of their last four away matches in this competition. The hosts it think could find it hard to negotiate the tough run of fixtures coming up especially after their poor run of league form of late. Also factoring that they drew with Videoton,another minnow European team in the group stages,i think a score draw is possible.
Chelsea are going through a dodgy patch at present and it's likely to signal the end of Maurizio Sarri's short time at Stamford Bridge. It seems inevitable he will leave sooner or later and if Chelsea get knocked out of the Europa League by Malmo FF, it could be sooner. Chelsea lead 2-1 from the first leg so it should be a straightforward progression into the last 16 but with Chelsea at the moment you never know. Recent poor performances had been on their travels but Monday saw them lose at home to Manchester United in the FA Cup. They have won their last six home games in the Europa League and the loss to United ended a run of five straight wins at the Bridge.
Malmo FF have it all to do in this tie. They need to score at least twice to have any chance of making it into the next round so will have to take some chances. It's been a staple diet of friendlies and the Swedish Cup for Malmo since the end of November. They finished second in their Europa League group behind Genk and two points clear of Besiktas. Their three away games ended in one win, one draw and a loss to Genk with only two goals scored. Each of their last four away games in this competition have had under 2.5 goals scored in them and the tip here is for another match with under 2.5 goals.
