VARDAR NEWS

Vardar was and still is, an outsider in this clash. They stunned the European football public last week when they returned from Sweden with a fantastic result - 1:1. This draw gives them a realistic opportunity to qualify for the third qualifying round - they will eliminate Malmo even if we see a goalless draw in the second leg! The Macedonian champion will probably try to defend as much as they can, and save their net, which would ultimately bring them the next qualifying round.

MALMO NEWS

Malmo started the new season in Sweden successfully, and it seems they won't have many difficulties in defending the throne. However, they disappointed their fans when they failed to defeat Vardar last week, and they will certainly try to fix everything in Macedonia. That won't be easy, but Malmo will attack from the first minute of the match and try to score first. After that, everything is possible.
