Malmo FF - Olympiacos: Form Analysis
Malmo do not have a history of top performances in the Europa League, especially at the group/league phase. They beat Qarabag 2-1 away from home in the last round, and will be looking to build on it.
That win marked an end to nine straight defeats at group main draw level of the Europa League. That having come on the road, Malmo will seek to replicate the same at home.
The one, and only time they hosted Olympiacos, the Swedes posted a 2-0 win. They will thus be confident of adding to their current four-match unbeaten run.
While they came from behind to beat Qarabag, in the last two matches they scored first but failed to win.
In two earlier meetings, each of these sides posted a win.
Olympiacos are also coming from a draw, after playing to a 2-2 outcome at home to Levadiakos. Like Malmo, they are unbeaten in the last four matches. The Greek side has three clean sheets in the last four matches.
One of them was a 3-0 thumping of Sporting Braga on Match Day 2 of this competition. A good 10 years ago, they visited Malmo and took a 2-0 beating, though they won the home leg 4-2.
The visitors will be keen to avoid another defeat here, having already suffered one this season, at the hands of Lyon. That will call for a lot, as they come here winless in three away matches.
They also lost the last three away matches in the Europa League.

Malmo FF & Olympiacos Squad Analysis
Malmo are heavily hit by injuries, especially in defence and their plans for this game may be curtailed. Right-back Anton Tinnerholm is set to complete a fifth month out of action, with a groin injury.
In the treatment room, he linked up with Oscar Lewicki, who hasn’t featured this year as he nurses an ACL injury.
Sead Haksabanovic is another player set to miss this as he continues recovering from a groin issue.
Olympiacos will go into this game with an almost full squad available.
At Olympiacos, veteran Willian is a major doubt for this match. The Brazilian picked a knock earlier on and has so far played in just three matches.
They do not have major injury concerns and Jose Luis Mendilibar will be happy with the state of the team.

Our Malmo FF vs Olympiacos Prediction
These two sides haven't lost in their last four matches, posting identical runs in the process – two wins and as many draws. The most recent two results for each team were the draws. Malmo can pile their all in this game as their domestic title is all but wrapped.
They will find an Olympiacos side that can be sturdy. In a fixture that has not favored the visiting team before, Olympiacos may, however, find this a tough assignment. Still, we do not feel the Greek giants will leave empty-handed. Our prediction for Malmo v Olympiacos is for the two sides to draw.
