Coach Tom Prahl has promised Cork City will see a different Malmo side in the Malmo Stadion tomorrow.
Malmo travelled to Turner's Cross with a weakened squad for the first leg of their Intertoto Cup clash, which they subsequently lost 3-1 but Prahl said: "We must turn things around. The players must show more emotion, more heart and more courage like Cork showed in the first leg. We were embarrassing to watch in Cork. We played the ball around too slowly in midfield and we must play a quicker game for the return leg."
Prahl has picked his strongest starting line-up. Former Bayern Munich and Barcelona midfielder, Patrik Anderson, who was injured for the first leg, will start and add impetus to an impoverished attack where Berang Safari loses his place to
Marko Lukanovic. Norwegian full-back Jon Inge Hoiland will start at right-back.
City boss Pat Dolan will be hoping his side play with the same fervour and passion as they did in the first leg and not as they played on Tuesday night. Then they lost their 11-match unbeaten run with a 1-0 home defeat to Bohemians in the eircom League. "We played poorly on Tuesday night and we missed lots of chances," Dolan said. "Maybe some of the players had their eye on the return game in Malmo but tomorrow we will need to be at our best. It will be all about concentration."
City trained twice yesterday and again earlier today and are confident they can pull off another shock. "The mood in the camp has been fantastic all season. We are going probably where no other side has gone before. This is the challenge but we are looking forward to it," Dolan added.
