Malmo will host Goteborg at the Eleda Stadion on Sunday in a mid-season friendly clash between the two teams.
The home side have enjoyed a strong start to their Allsvenskan campaign and will fancy themselves as early title contenders. They picked up a 3-1 comeback win over Varnamo in their last game, with Taha Abdi Ali scoring a brace before Sweden international Sebastian Nanasi wrapped up the points late in the game.
Malmo will make their return to competitive action next weekend and will begin their preparations for the game this Sunday.
Goteborg, meanwhile, have struggled for results this season and now find themselves deep in the bottom half of the table. They were beaten 2-0 by Sirius last time out and were already two goals down before former Trabzonspor man Anders Trondsen received a red card.
The visitors will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways ahead of the season restart in July.
