Malmö's European drought vs. Zvezda's winning streak
22 Jan
Summary
- Malmö has won only one of their last 28 major European matches.
- Crvena Zvezda has won their last three Europa League matches 1-0.
- This is Malmö's first European meeting with Crvena Zvezda.
This marks the inaugural European meeting between Malmö and Crvena Zvezda. The Serbian club, Crvena Zvezda, has a long history with Swedish teams, dating back to a 1957 European Cup match against IFK Norrköping.
Malmö's recent European form shows a significant struggle, with only one win in their last 28 major European games, a 2-1 victory over Qarabag in October 2024. Their overall record stands at 4 draws and 23 losses in this span.
Conversely, Crvena Zvezda arrives in strong form, having won their last three UEFA Europa League matches by a 1-0 margin. This streak matches their longest European winning run since the 1991-92 season. A repeat 1-0 victory would place them in an elite group of teams achieving this feat.
Should Crvena Zvezda secure another 1-0 win, they would join Metalist Kharkiv and 1. FC Union Berlin as the only teams to achieve four consecutive 1-0 victories in the UEFA Cup/Europa League.
