Each team's starting lineup from their previous match in this tournament is listed.

Malmö

In the last round, the Swedish club ended a three-match losing streak in the Europa League by drawing 2-2 with Galatasaray. However, they have lost even theoretical chances of directly advancing to the tournament's round of 16, but they are still in contention for a playoff spot. With two matches remaining in the group stage, Malmö is in 31st place in the Europa League standings, trailing 24th place by three points. Despite snapping their losing streak in the Europa League, the team has failed to keep a clean sheet for 12 consecutive matches in this tournament. In the current group stage, the club has conceded twice as many goals as they have scored, with a 6:12 goal difference.

• The team has not won in 11 of their last 12 Europa League matches (1 draw, 10 losses).
• At least 3 goals have been scored in 5 of Malmö's last 7 matches in the second-tier European competition.
• The club has failed to score in 5 of their last 6 home matches in the Europa League.

Twente

The team once again failed to secure a victory in the Europa League, drawing 0-0 with Olympiacos in their previous match. As a result, their winless streak in the second-tier European competition has reached 14 matches (10 draws, 4 losses). Notably, Twente is among the five clubs in the current group stage without a win. However, they are level on points with their upcoming opponent in the Europa League table, but they are ahead by one position due to a better goal difference, sharing similar tournament prospects. It's worth noting Twente's low scoring in the current Europa League campaign, with only four goals scored, fewer than only two other clubs.

• No more than 2 goals have been scored in 7 of the team's last 8 Europa League matches.
• Twente has not scored more than once in 11 of their last 12 matches in this tournament.
• The club has drawn their last 5 away matches in the Europa League.

Malmö vs. Twente: Match Prediction

Both teams are struggling in the current Europa League campaign. The upcoming opponents are deservedly in the lower part of the standings, with only one win between them in 12 matches. Notably, Malmö has defensive issues, ranking among the worst defensive clubs in the tournament with 12 goals conceded, only five teams have conceded more. Meanwhile, as noted earlier, Twente scores very little.

Nevertheless, the Dutch team is quite resilient and has not lost in 4 of their 6 group stage matches, ending them in draws. Moreover, in all three away matches of the current Europa League campaign, Twente has shared points with their opponents. These opponents were not easy – Manchester United, Nice, and Olympiacos. I believe the visitors will not lose this time either. Their upcoming opponent has not won at home in the Europa League for six matches, losing five of them without scoring.

Additionally, the lack of match practice could impact the result of this encounter. The Swedish championship concluded in November, and the club's last official match was on December 12 in the Europa League against Galatasaray. I'm confident the visitors will extend their unbeaten away run in the second-tier European competition. My prediction: Twente to win or draw
