Prediction: 2-1
Dudelange
Eleda Stadion will host Thursday’s Europa League game between Malmo and Dudelange, the two teams who meet for the first time in European competitions. Malmo suffered a shocking elimination in the Champions League qualifiers, with the team losing the double-header with Zalgiris of Lithuania. The Sky Blues aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Dudelange.
Important attacker Isaac Thelin is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Mahame Siby and Oscar Lewicki are out of contention with injuries. Dudelange, on the other hand, aim to make amends for the loss to Pyunik, but seeing that Malmo are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Luxembourg empty-handed. Midfielder Anders Christiansen is banned for the hosts.

However, after making 17 league appearances for the club in the 2002/2003 season, he returned to Ajax on 5 June, 2003.

Highlighted Team (Dudelange):
F91 Dudelange are the most famous Luxembourg club. Dudelange play their home games at Stade Jos Nosbaum stadium, which can hold no more than 2,558 spectators. Dudelange clinched their 14th trophy in the national championship in the 2017/2018 season, with the team finishing the campaign five points clear of Progres Niederkorn.
As a result, the Luxembourg champions booked their place in the Champions League qualifiers, but they failed to make it to the group stages of the elite competition as they were beaten by MOL Vidi of Hungaria in the two-legged tie. However, F91 Dudelange were producing thrilling displays in the Europa League qualifiers and, as a result, they make it to the group stages of the competition where they will face the likes of Milan, Real Betis and Olympiakos Piraeus.
The Luxembourg side wear sky blue and black shirts and black shorts when playing at home, whilst they away colours are yellow and black.
