Two Champions League drop-outs meet on Thursday, as Malmo welcome Luxembourg's F91 Dudelange to Eleda Stadion in the third qualifying round of the Europa League.

While the Swedish champions were dumped out by Lithuanian side Zalgiris, their opponents let a first-leg lead slip and were also demoted to Europe's second-tier competition.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg of their second-round Champions League qualifier in Vilnius, last week Malmo locked horns again with FK Zalgiris on Swedish soil, with confidence that they could turn the tie around in front of their own supporters.

However, the Allsvenskan champions went a further goal behind before the break, and ultimately slid to a 3-0 aggregate defeat, with captain Anders Christiansen being sent off for good measure.

While their conquerors now going on to face Nordic neighbours Bodo/Glimt in the third round, Malmo must now dust themselves off and go again in the Europa League.

Milos Milojevic's side are also playing catch-up in defence of their domestic title, and though they are within three points of the Allsvenskan summit following Saturday's 3-1 win against Sirius, they sit fifth in the standings after 16 games of the current campaign.

It has been a rocky start since Milojevic took the reins from former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, who led the club to successive league titles and last year's Champions League group stage before departing for Blackburn Rovers, and the 22-time Swedish champions are enduring a transitional period.

By contrast with the former European Cup runners-up, F91 Dudelange - who, as their name suggests, were only formed in 1991 - have very little continental clout to offer.

Last season's Luxembourg National Division winners had hopes of progressing towards a dream first appearance in the Champions League as they took a first-leg advantage back to Stade Jos Nosbaum last week, but were unable to capitalise on an away win against FC Pyunik of Armenia.

Despite going 2-0 up on aggregate midway through the first half, Dudelange leaked four subsequent goals to crash out ignominiously, and they now drop down to Europe's second tier tournament.

Not set to begin their domestic campaign until Sunday, Carlos Fangueiro's men have been able to fully concentrate on UEFA competition, and they previously put out Tirana in the Champions League's first qualifying round.

The first ever club from Luxembourg to make it through the preliminary process in 2018, Dudelange also competed in the group stage of the Europa League the following season. Eliminated by Irish side Bohemians in last year's Europa Conference League qualifiers, though, they start as definite underdogs against Malmo.

With a big difference in their quality, Malmo shouldn't have any problems to win the match.

We go to HA -1.50 Malmo with great value.

Probable scores here are 3-0 4-0

两名欧冠出局的球员将在周四相遇，马尔默在欧冠资格赛第三轮的埃莱达球场迎来了卢森堡的F91杜德朗热。

虽然瑞典冠军被立陶宛球队扎尔吉里斯淘汰出局，但他们的对手却失去了首回合的领先优势，也被降至欧洲二线赛事。

在对阵维尔纽斯的欧冠资格赛第二轮首回合比赛中，马尔默以0 - 1落后，上周在瑞典国土上再次与扎尔吉里斯发生冲突，他们有信心在自己的支持者面前扭转战局。

然而，奥斯文斯卡冠军在中场休息前又落后一球，最终总比分0 - 3落败，队长安德斯·克里斯蒂安森被罚下。

当他们的征服者将在第三轮面对北欧邻居博多/格里姆特时，马尔默现在必须掸去身上的灰尘，在欧联杯再战一场。

米洛耶维奇的球队也在努力捍卫他们的国内冠军，虽然他们在周六3-1战胜小天狼星后离阿尔斯文斯卡的冠军只差3分，但他们在当前赛季的16场比赛后排名第五。

自从米洛耶维奇从前任主帅乔恩·达尔·托马森手中接过帅位以来，球队的开局并不顺利。托马森曾带领球队连续夺得联赛冠军，并在去年的欧冠小组赛中获得冠军，之后前往布莱克本，这支22届瑞典冠军球队正经历着一段过渡期。

与前欧洲杯亚军F91杜德朗热相比——顾名思义，他们成立于1991年——在欧洲大陆的影响力微乎其微。

上个赛季的卢森堡国家赛区冠军本希望在欧冠赛场上实现首回合比赛的梦想，上周他们在诺斯鲍姆体育场取得了首回合的优势，但未能利用客场战胜亚美尼亚的派尼克的机会。

尽管在上半场中段总比分2-0领先，但杜德朗热随后的4粒进球让他们颜面扫地，现在他们已经跌到了欧洲第二级联赛。

直到周日才会开始他们的国内比赛，卡洛斯·方古罗的球队已经能够完全专注于欧足联的比赛，他们之前在欧冠资格赛的第一轮淘汰了地拉那。

杜德朗热是卢森堡历史上第一支在2018年通过预选赛的俱乐部，在接下来的赛季还参加了欧联杯小组赛。尽管在去年的欧联杯预选赛中被爱尔兰球队波西米亚人淘汰，但在对阵马尔默的比赛中，他们一开始就处于绝对劣势。

由于他们的水平有很大的不同，马尔默赢得比赛应该没有任何问题。

我们选择HA -1.50的马尔默值很高。

可能比分是3比0 4比0
