Game Prediction
In the UEFA Champions League qualification round of 16 on July 8, 2025, the first leg will be held between Iberia 1999 and Malmö. The guests from Scandinavia are much more experienced and are aiming for a decisive result already on the road.
Our Prediction for Iberia 1999 vs Malmö
The club from Tbilisi, formerly known as Saburtalo, has already been a champion and has won the cup three times, all starting from 2018. But after rebranding, they managed to get back to the top—after twice finishing sixth. Now, with a significant part of the new season played, they have once again managed to widen the gap from all chasers, headed by Dila. However, since late May, the season in Georgia has been on pause.
The Swedes, last season, comfortably secured another Allsvenskan title. They also broke into the main round of the Europa League—but there, they had to play in January. Perhaps as a result, the favorite has been performing noticeably below expectations in the new season. For example, both against Mjällby and GAIS, there were only draws.
On average, Sikharulidze and company currently score 1.61 goals per game, conceding just 0.56. Their guests do not have such an impressive ratio: 1.33 goals scored per match, 0.73 conceded.
