Degerfors and Malmo will square off in a Swedish Allsvenskan round-eight clash on Sunday (May 11th). The game will be played at Stora Valla.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Sirius at the same venue last time out. They went ahead through Marcus Rafferty's 22nd-minute strike while Leo Walta drew the game level in the 39th minute.
Malmo, meanwhile, fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at home to Brommapojkarna. All three goals were scored in the second half, with Ezekiel Alladoh and Daleho Irandust scoring to put the visitors two goals up seven minutes into the second half. Lasse Johnsen halved the deficit with seven minutes left on the clock, but the Sky Blues were unable to complete the comeback.
The loss left them in fifth spot, having garnered 11 points from seven games. Degerfors are sixth with 10 points to their name.

Degerfors vs Malmo Prediction
Degerfors returned to the top-flight at the first time of asking, having won the Superettan last season. They won their opening two games back in the big time but have managed just one since then.
Malmo are two-time defending champions of the Allsvenskan but have not made an ideal start to their title defense. Henrik Rydstrom's side's three games on their travels so far have produced less than three goals, and also saw at least one side keep a clean sheet. The defending champions are unbeaten in this fixture and are heavy favorites to keep this run going.
We are backing the visitors to claim a multi-goal victory with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Degerfors 1-3 Malmo
