Porto is one of the most experienced European cup fighters in the current Europa League campaign, if not the most experienced in terms of both quantity and quality of participation in continental competitions. The overall perception of this team as one of the favorites in the tournament is enhanced by its personnel potential. The specialized resource transfermarkt estimates the total value of Porto's squad at nearly 400 million euros. Only Roma, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest have a higher figure. The current season saw the Portuguese club starting with a young coach, Francesco Farioli, who was appointed in July 2025. Few expected it, but Porto's level of play has sharply increased compared to last year's performance. The hosts of the "Dragão" stadium now dominate the national arena and are meeting the minimum program in the Europa League to reach the playoffs. Malmö is the most decorated club in Sweden; however, the season, which concluded in early November, has been a disaster for the "sky blue" team. They lost the championship title, subsequently changed their head coach, but this did not allow them to significantly improve their game and finish higher than sixth place in Allsvenskan. In the last six official matches, Malmö has won only once. None of the five rounds of the group stage of the Europa League ended in victory for the Swedish team. Bookmakers have identified the home team as clear favorites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.20 for their victory. Speaking of squad values, 37 players of Malmö are valued at ten times less than Porto's squad. At the same time, remembering the example of Qarabağ in the Champions League, who can compete equally with Chelsea, it should be emphasized the weakness of the former Swedish champion's play. For example, in the last round of the Europa League, Nottingham Forest defeated Malmö 3-0, without making significant efforts for this result and allowing the opponent to shoot at their goal only once during the match. Porto has played ten matches at "Dragão" this season, winning eight of them. The only match they lost took place in the League Cup, which is a non-priority tournament for Farioli's team. Let's bet that the hosts will win confidently.
