In this week 9 match, on Sun May 22nd, Malmö FF hosts Häcken at Swedbank Stadion in a clash of these two evenly matched Allsvenskan teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Malmö FF is fresh off their 0-4 loss against Djurgården. Matěj Chaluš struck first for Djurgården on an own goal in the 15th minute, then Hjalmar Ekdal added another in the 33rd minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Malmö FF couldn’t manage to score, and Djurgården took the shutout win. Malmö FF is looking for direction having 4 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 3rd placed Häcken, recorded a 3-1 win against Kalmar. Kristoffer Hansen struck first for Kalmar on an own goal in the 2nd minute, but Mikkel Rygaard Jensen got the equalizer for Häcken in the 38th minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 59th minute on a goal by Alexander Jeremejeff to cap off a wild match. Häcken should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Malmö FF won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Alexander Jeremejeff has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored five goals for Häcken. Anders Christiansen and Birmancevic are the top scorers for Malmö FF in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
