In the sixth round of the Europa League 2025/26 group stage, Porto hosts Malmö — under the watchful eye of coach Miguel Ángel Ramírez for the Swedes — on Thursday, 11 December at 15:00 EST in the USA.
The Portuguese have accumulated ten points in five games and are currently in the direct qualification zone for the round of 16 of the competition, with three rounds to go. Porto is coming off a 3-0 victory over Lille, also at home. On the other side, the Swedes from Malmo — who are only competing in this competition at the moment — have earned just one point in five games and are counting on the debut of their new Spanish coach to try to secure a spot in the play-offs.

Porto
Porto comes into the match against Malmo on a high note in the local league — in their last Portuguese Championship match, they beat CD Tondela 2-0. Even so, there are some important absences: forwards Luuk de Jong and defender Nehuén Pérez are still out with injuries, forcing coach Francesco Farioli to reorganise the offensive and defensive sectors.
Malmo
For Malmö, the clash against Porto will be a difficult one: the Swedish team is going through a turbulent period in Europe — they are coming off a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest and have had a very poor campaign so far. In addition, the squad has at least one confirmed absence: midfielder Arnór Sigurdsson is out with a knee injury.
Finally, there is an important change on the horizon for the club: this will be the last game under interim coach Anes Mravac — the team has already confirmed the arrival of Spanish coach Miguel Ángel Ramírez, formerly of Internacional and Independiente del Valle.
