F91 Dudelange won the Luxembourg top division title last term and earned a spot in the Champions League first round qualification, where they defeated Tirana 3-1 on aggregate to advance to the next round. However, in the second round of qualification, Carlos Fangueiro’s side suffered a 4-2 aggregate defeat to Pyumnik and were eliminated down to the Europa League qualification. The Luxembourg outfit recorded a thumping five star win in their opening match of the new domestic league campaign courtesy of goals from Joao Magno, Dejvid Sinani, Mehdi Kirch and an own goal by Alexis Boury.Â
Malmo, on the other hand, were previously dumped out of the Champions League qualifying by Lithuania’s FK Zalgiris. Meanwhile Milos Milojevic’s side are apparently playing catch-up in defence of their domestic league title, and fell five points adrift of the Allsvenskan leaders Hacken following the recent defeat to Sirius. The Blue Ones sit sixth in the standings, ove halfway through the 2022 campaign. Â
