Malmö FF 5-2 Halmstad result, stats and report

Halmstad nicked all three points with a stoppage-time goal from substitute Ludvig Arvidsson, defying the run of play completely after Kalmar created four big chances and failed to score from any of them.

AIK bossed possession and created the cleaner chances at Malmö, but the Allsvenskan derby finished goalless as both defences held firm in a match that had plenty of needle.

Malmö FF ground out a 1-0 victory at Sirius in the Swedish Allsvenskan, with Diego García heading home just before half-time to settle a tight and disciplined contest. Sirius had plenty of the ball but could not convert their chances when it mattered.

Djurgården delivered a composed and well-organised away performance to beat Malmö FF 3-0 at Eleda Stadion, with a headed opener, two left-foot finishes, and a disciplined defensive structure that the hosts could not find a way through.

Halmstad host AIK at the bottom of the Allsvenskan table on Sunday, and the gap between these two sides right now is considerable. AIK arrive having won four of their last five away fixtures. Halmstad have not kept a clean sheet away from home all season, and their home record is barely any better.

Västerås SK have built something quietly impressive at home this season, but Malmö FF arrive at Studenternas on Saturday having won three of their last five away from Eleda Stadion. Something has to give.

Malmö FF sit seventh in the Allsvenskan table and have lost six of their last ten home matches. Örgryte arrive in poor form too, but the pattern at Eleda Stadion this season tells a story that every opposition manager has started to read.
