Relegation battle talk no longer unthinkable for Malmö

May 20, 2026

A panel on Expressen's Fotbollspanelen has raised the startling question of whether Malmö FF should genuinely prepare for a relegation battle this season, calling anything less "ignorant." For a club that has lifted the Allsvenskan title four times in the last five years, the mere mention of the drop zone is unthinkable, yet the conversation is now being had in earnest. The panel argues that the warning signs can no longer be ignored, and the urgency is real. You are not accustomed to looking downward, but the margins are thinning fast. (1)
