Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Sarpsborg 08
Match Time & Date:

04:00 pm
Prediction: 3-1
Malmo FF
Sarpsborg will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Genk when they take on Malmo in yet another home fixture in the Europa League. Sarpsborg undisputedly produce much better showings at home than on the travels and you should bear in mind that they recorded four wins in previous five games at their Sarpsborg Stadion, speaking of European competitions. The Norwegians are likely to go for a win in Thursday’s football match and seeing that Malmo were beaten by Genk in their first away game of the process, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. The Swedish club are fully focused on the national championship at the moment, which is yet another reason why we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Norwegians, who have turned their Sarpsborg Stadion into a real fortress.

Kristoffer Larsen is a Norwegian footballer who played for Vestsiden-Askoy IL at youth level. In 2011 he joined Brann and after scoring 11 goals in 91 appearances in the league for the Norwegian club, he moved to Denmark in 2016, signing a deal with Lyngby.

Kristoffer Larsen’s favourite position is left winger, but he is used as a right winger as well. Larsen, who has yet to earn a cap for the Norwegian national football team, wears No. 19 shirt at Sarpsborg. It has to be noted that his preferred foot is right and that his contract with Sarpsborg 08 should expire in June, 2019.
