Malmo are set to play Chelsea at the Eleda Stadion on Tuesday in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Malmo come into this game on the back of a 3-2 win over Sirius in the Allsvenskan. A penalty from Norwegian forward Jo Inge Berget and a second-half brace from Croatian attacker Antonio Colak secured the win for Jon Dahl Tomasson's Malmo.
Young Swedish midfielder Nahom Girmai Netabay and attacker Edi Sylisufaj scored the consolation goals for Sirius.
Chelsea, on the other hand, beat Newcastle United 3-0 in the English Premier League. A second-half brace from right-back Reece James and a penalty from midfielder Jorginho sealed the deal for Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea.

Malmo vs Chelsea Prediction
Malmo are bottom of their UEFA Champions League group, and have lost all three games so far. Not much is expected from the Swedish side, but they are more than capable of causing problems to their opposition.
Chelsea, on the other hand, will be jubilant after a good performance against Newcastle United. Tuchel's men won the Champions League last season, and are currently second in their group.
Chelsea will be the favourites to win.
Prediction: Malmo 0-3 Chelsea
