Malmo will host Varnamo at the Eleda Stadium on Sunday in the 25th round of the 2025 Swedish Allsvenskan campaign. The hosts will be keen to return to winning ways as they look to make a late push for European qualification.
Malmo, who have won the last three Allsvenskan titles, have had a disappointing season so far and are effectively out of the title race as they sit in sixth place, 18 points off the top with just six games to go.
Di blåe suffered their fifth defeat of the season in a 1-0 loss to Djugården last weekend, but are just four points off the top three and will hope to get maximum points in the final weeks of the season to qualify for next season's Conference League playoffs.
Varnamo, on the other hand, suffered a fourth consecutive loss as they squandered an early lead in their 2-1 defeat to Halmstad last weekend. The visitors, who only avoided relegation through the playoffs last season, are currently sitting at the bottom of the table, 10 points deep in the relegation zone and will be desperate to get results in the last six games of the season to achieve safety.
