Kalmar vs Malmö prediction: teams form analysis, possible lineups on July 20, 2026
In the 13th round of the Swedish Allsvenskan on July 20, 2026, Kalmar and Malmö will face off. It’s a meeting between two clubs who cannot be satisfied with their current season performance.
Kalmar vs Malmö: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Kalmar was relegated to Superettan in 2024. However, they finished second there and immediately returned to the top division. Their start in the elite was weak, but since late April they have been actively picking up points and often winning—especially at home. For example, they beat Örgryte 3-0, but then lost without scoring away at Hammarby.
The team from "Eleda" added four more championships to their already rich trophy cabinet from 2020 to 2024. But after that, they dropped as low as sixth place! They couldn’t climb back to the top—in this campaign, they've actually lost half their matches. That said, in the summer after the break, they secured clean-sheet wins over both Degerfors and Göteborg.
The hosts are scoring an average of 1.17 goals per game, but concede slightly more—1.42 per game. The former champions currently average 2.08 goals scored, but concede 1.67 per match.
