Malmo vs Hacken Prediction
Malmo haven't had the title defence they would have envisaged at the start of the season. They have won one of their last three home games and are eight points off table-toppers Mjallby. However, the Sky Blues are capable of turning things around and cannot be ruled out of the title race as they aim for a three-peat.
Hacken, for their part, will be buzzing following their cup triumph. Their games have tended to be cagey affairs, and they will be aiming or maximum points here to climb up the standings.
Malmo will have scores to settle after losing the cup final and should claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
