F91 Dudelange Face Impossible Task in Europa League Against Malmo FF
F91 Dudelange vs Malmö FF - 11/08/2022
3023
We have the second legs of the third qualifying round ties in the Europa League to look forward to this week, including the match between F91 Dudelange and Malmö FF.
The game will take place on the 11th of August at the Stade de Luxembourg and the hosts must overcome a 3 goal deficit from the first leg if they are to progress in the competition.
F91 Dudelange have yet to begin the defence of their domestic title in Luxembourg and the last match they played was the first leg of this tie in Sweden. Having had a man sent off in the 31st minute, F91 Dudelange could not prevent the hosts from scoring in the second half and F91 Dudelange conceded 3 goals, two of which came in the final 9 minutes of the game.
That result means F91 Dudelange have lost their 2 most recent games in all competitions. They entered this stage of the Europa League having lost 4-1 at home against Pyunik of Armenia in the second round of Champions League qualifying. Having won the first leg 1-0 away and taken the lead in the second after 21 minutes, it was a hugely disappointing way to exit the Champions League.
Trends show F91 Dudelange have lost each of their last 3 home Europa League games. There have been defeats against Qarabag, Sevilla, and APOEL. F91 Dudelange have conceded 11 goals in their 3 most recent home Europa League matches.
Malmö FF travel to Luxembourg having lost 2-1 away to Sirius in the Swedish Allsvenskan on the weekend. That defeat could prove costly in pursuit of the title and Malmö FF are currently in 5th place on 30 points, 4 points adrift of the leaders.
Malmö FF have been inconsistent in recent matches and have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 fixtures in all competitions. Two of the 3 defeats came in Champions League qualifying against Zalgiris of Lithuania, with both results being a huge disappointment for the Swedes.
However, trends show Malmö FF have won 4 of their last 5 Europa League games. They have defeated Cracovia, Honvéd, Lokomotiva Zagreb, and F91 Dudelange.
Away form in the Europa League shows Malmö FF are undefeated in 3 of their last 4 matches, including wins at FC Copenhagen and Honvéd.
Team news and F91 Dudelange will be without Charles Morren who is suspended following his red card last week. Croatian, Filip Bojić could replace him in the starting XI. Eliot Gashi is also pushing for a place in the team.
Malmö FF could go with a similar starting XI to the first leg. Some changes to the team could see Veljko Birmančević, Eric Larsson, and Ola Toivonen start the game.
Malmö FF are in control of this tie but know they still have a job to do in Luxembourg. F91 Dudelange need to attack and that could leave them open at the back for Malmö FF to come away with a comfortable win.
