Prediction: 3-0
Malmo
Union Berlin will be looking to keep their Europa League last 16 hopes alive when they host Malmo to their Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Thursday evening. The Bundesliga outfit defeated Malmo at Eleda Stadion thanks to Sheraldo Becker’s goal, but they face yet another must-win situation in the reverse fixture. Midfielder Andras Schafer is banned for the match, while Sven Michel is back from suspension. Both Baumgartl and Maciejewski are major doubts following their recent positive tests for COVID-19.
The Swedish outfit, on the other hand, failed to impress in a goalless draw with Varnamo at the weekend, which is yet another reason why we are going to put our money on Union Berlin. As for the away team, Isaac Thelin is pushing for a start, while all Berget, Nalic, Nielsen, Rieks, and Siby should miss out with injuries.
