Prediction published on 10/23/25, 11:31 AM  by Erik Gibbs in Europa League Picks

Malmö FF head into Thursday’s clash against Dinamo Zagreb in impressive domestic form, continuing to lead the Swedish Allsvenskan table with a confident and composed style. Their consistency has been particularly notable at Eleda Stadion, where they have turned home advantage into a fortress through controlled possession and quick transitions in wide areas. Recent league performances have highlighted both their attacking efficiency and their defensive discipline, though they’ve occasionally been exposed by high-tempo counterattacks.

In Europe, Malmö’s form has been encouraging, punctuated by a commanding 4–1 victory earlier in the campaign that reinforced their ability to dominate weaker opponents. Yet, when facing technically sharp teams, they have sometimes found themselves on the back foot, struggling to maintain structure under sustained pressure.

Dinamo Zagreb arrive in Sweden in equally strong domestic form, maintaining their reputation as perennial contenders in the Croatian league. Their European track record is one of the most consistent among clubs from smaller nations, having repeatedly reached the later stages of continental competitions. This season’s campaign has started brightly, with a statement 3–1 away win over Fenerbahce showcasing their tactical flexibility and counterattacking potency.

Domestically, Dinamo’s form has been reliable, with a well-balanced squad combining experienced veterans with emerging young talents. They rarely lose focus, and their ability to remain composed under pressure makes them one of the toughest sides to break down in Europe’s second-tier competitions.
