Both teams are looking for their first victory in the competition after defeat in the first round. There is also history here since no Russian and Swedish teams have faced each other in big competitions since October 2007.

Signs indicate that the hosts will be a very tough opponent in this group, mainly because of the performance they showed in the first round when Zenit pushed defending champions Chelsea to the limit before conceding the first goal and suffering their first 1-0 defeat in the competition. This negative result ended an unbeaten streak of 19 games for the Russian team, a record of 14 wins and 4 draws, so there is a lot of optimism there to return to the path of positive results.

In the national championship, they are on a good wave since they are the current leader of the competition with 23 points in 9 games and an impeccable record of 7 wins 2 draws, and no losses. Furthermore, after the loss to Chelsea, they have already registered 2 straight victories and arrived motivated to beat Malmo and manage to add their first 3 points, important since the team seeks at least one place in the Europa League playoffs.

Dejan Lovren, Wilmar Barrios, Magomed Ozdoev, Vyacheslav Karavaev are still injured and embezzle the team, however it is not something of concern for the coach since he already maintains a standardized team with game rhythm.

Malmo does not have a very encouraging record in the Champions League since they registered defeats in the last four matches of the competition, an aggregate score of 20 goals conceded to 0 scored. It's hard to imagine anything positive for them and that's why the market is placing hosts with so much favoritism here. The team didn't show a good game in their debut when they lost to Juventus 3-0 at home. We need to point out that despite the great players who are still at Juventus, they are still not in their best form, and yet they achieved an easy result against the weak Malmo team.

They come with 2 wins in the last 2 valid games for the national championship, where they occupy second place with 41 points in 21 games, a record of 12 wins 5 draws, and 4 losses.

The coach also has some shortages for this game since Jonas Knudsen, Ola Toivonen, Oscar Lewicki, Soren Reims, Niklas Moisander are injured.

It's hard to imagine regular performance from visitors today. The main objective of both teams is to remain in third place and go to the Europa League playoffs, in this way we can expect a lot of strength from the hosts who are the best team here and are showing a more solid game on the field, besides they showed that they will be a hard team to beat in the group, even against their two main rivals, Juventus and Chelsea. Zenit should win here without much effort.

My probable score here is 2-0 3-1

Marco Antonio,

GL!

两队在第一轮失利后，都在寻求他们在比赛中的首次胜利。自2007年10月以来，俄罗斯球队和瑞典球队再也没有在大型比赛中相遇。

有迹象表明主队在这个小组将会是一个非常强硬的对手，主要是因为他们在第一轮的表现，泽尼特把卫冕冠军切尔西逼到极限，但却丢了第一个球，并遭受了比赛中第一次1-0的失败。这一消极的结果结束了俄罗斯队19场不败的记录，14胜4平，所以人们对回归积极结果的道路充满了乐观。

在联赛中，他们的势头很好，因为他们在9场比赛中得到23分，并保持着无可挑剔的7胜2平，没有一场失利的记录。更重要的是，在输给切尔西之后，他们已经连续取得了两场胜利，并且有动力去击败马尔默，并设法增加他们的前三分。

洛夫伦、巴里奥斯、奥兹多耶夫、卡拉瓦耶夫都还在受伤，但这并不是教练所关心的问题，因为他已经打造了了一支标准化的球队，并保持了比赛的节奏。

马尔默在欧冠的战绩并不令人鼓舞，因为他们在欧冠的最后四场比赛中失利，总共失球20次，进球0次。很难想象对他们有什么积极的影响，这就是为什么市场对主队如此偏爱的原因。球队在主场0 - 3负于尤文图斯的处子秀中表现不佳。我们需要指出的是，尽管尤文图斯还有很多伟大的球员，但他们仍然没有处于最佳状态，而且他们在对阵马尔默的比赛中取得了轻松的胜利。

他们在最近两场联赛比赛中取得了2胜，在21场比赛中以41分排名第二，创造了12胜5平4负的记录。

由于乔纳斯·克努森，奥拉·托沃尼恩，奥斯卡·乐维基，索伦·兰斯，尼克拉斯·莫伊桑受伤，教练用人也有些局限。

很难想象客队的表现。两支球队的主要目标都是保持第三的位置，并参加欧罗巴联赛的季后赛，这样我们就可以期待东道主的强大力量，他们是这里最好的球队，在球场上表现得更加稳固，此外，他们还显示出在小组中很难击败他们，即使是面对他们的两个主要对手，尤文图斯和切尔西。泽尼特应该能轻松取胜。

我的大概比分是2-0/3-1
