The action continues in round seven of the Swedish Allsvenskan as Malmo play host to Brommapojkarna at the Eleda Stadium on Monday. Ulf Kristiansson’s men will head into the game looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their previous 18 meetings since July 2009.
Malmo returned to winning ways last Tuesday when they edged out Oster 2-0 when the two sides squared off at the Eleda Stadium. This followed a 2-0 defeat against Hammarby on April 23, a result which saw Henrik Rydstrom’s men’s 10-game unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end.
Malmo have won three of their six Allsvenskan matches so far while losing one and picking up two draws to collect 11 points and sit fourth in the league standings.
Brommapojkarna, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw against GAIS Goteborg when the two sides squared off at the Gamla Ullevi Stadium last time out.
Before that, Kristiansson’s men snapped their five-game losing streak on April 13 courtesy of a 3-0 win over Sirius, one week before securing a 3-2 victory over Varnamo on April 20.
With seven points from their five league matches this season, Brommapojkarna are currently 12th in the standings, level on points with Halmstad and GAIS, albeit with one game in hand.

Malmo vs Brommapojkarna Prediction
While Brommapojkarna have upped the ante in recent weeks, they face a sterner competition in a Malmo side who are unbeaten in their previous 18 encounters.
Given the gulf in class and quality between the two teams, we predict Kristiansson’s men will come away with all three points at the Eleda Stadium and send the visitors crashing back down to earth.
Prediction: Malmo 3-1 Brommapojkarna
