Malmo boss Rikard Norling has laughed off talk of being favourites in their Europa League tie with Swansea City.

The Swedes face the Swans in the first leg on Thursday night, just a couple of weeks after they dismantled Hibs 7-0 at Easter Road in the second leg of their contest in the previous round.

Norling said: "Swansea are playing in the Premier League, it's the best league in the world. They have signed three players worth more than our annual budget so you have to put things in perspective.

"I think he (Laudrup) is underestimating his team saying that. I understand why he is saying that but everyone here knows how it should be and how it should end if things go the way they should. Swansea are strong favourites."
