Malmo's Rikard Norling: 'Swansea City are favourites'

Malmo boss Rikard Norling admits that Swansea City are firm favourites for the Europa League clash between the two sides tomorrow night.

Malmo manager Rikard Norling has dismissed Michael Laudrup's claim that tomorrow's Europa League qualifier between the two sides will be a 50/50 game.

Laudrup has said that Malmo will be better prepared for the match as the Swedish side are halfway through their domestic season, while Swansea are yet to play a competitive game in the 2013-14 campaign.

"I know why Michael would suggest this is a 50/50 game but I don't think he's right," WalesOnline.co.uk quotes Norling as saying. "He is underestimating his own side saying that.

"We are playing a team that play in the best league in the world and last season finished ninth. They also won one of the cups so it's going to be special for us.

"We've done our homework, we know how Swansea play, but I can't tell you more than that."

Swansea, who signed Wilfried Bony for a club-record £12m earlier this summer, qualified for the Europa League by beating Bradford City 5-0 in the Capital One Cup final last season.
