Malmo and Sirius go head-to-head at the Eleda Stadium in round 13 of the Swedish Allsvenskan on Saturday.
Di Blåe are unbeaten in their last eight home games against Christer Mattiasson’s men and will look to extend this impressive record.
Malmo were sent crashing back to earth last Sunday as they fell to a 1-0 friendly defeat against Goteborg on home turf.
Henrik Rydstrom’s side were previously on a run of two successive league wins, seeing off Degerfors and Varnamo respectively.
With 31 points from 12 games, Malmo currently sit at the summit of the Allsvenskan standings, two points above second-placed Elfsborg.
Like the hosts, Sirius were on the receiving end of a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Hammarby in last Monday’s friendly.
The Blåsvart now turn their attention to the Allsvenskan, where they are on a run of three consecutive wins, scoring six goals and keeping two clean sheets since May’s 2-1 loss to Halmstads.
Sirius are currently 11th in the league standings, having picked up 14 points from their 12 matches so far.

Malmo vs Sirius Prediction
While Sirius have put together a fine run of form in the league, they face a Malmo side who have been near impenetrable at home this season.
