Malmö FF 1-2 Degerfors result, stats and report

Malmö FF put on a commanding performance at home, running out 4-1 winners against Örgryte in the Swedish Allsvenskan. Three second-half goals sealed a victory that the stats made look entirely justified.

Malmö FF host Häcken at Eleda Stadion on Sunday 18 October in a Swedish Allsvenskan clash that pits a home side building momentum against visitors who simply refuse to be beaten cleanly. Something has to give.

Kalmar arrive at Malmö FF having won none of their last five Allsvenskan matches and conceding nine goals in the process. The thing is, Malmö have kept a clean sheet in five of their last ten. Work that out.
