Malmö recorded a 4-3 win over Sirius in their last game; despite conceding two goals in the first half, they still got something out of the game.

Malmo have been exceptional at home, winning all their previous ten home games. They have scored the second-most goals (21) at home while conceding the fewest (two) and picking up the most points (21). Malmo sit first on the table with 38 points in 16 games, scoring 44 and conceding 15.

Oscar Lewicki (cruciate ligament tear), Daniel Gudjohnsen (back injury), Stefano Vecchia (back injury), Anton Tinnerholm (groin issues), Sead Haksabanovic (groin issues), Joseph Ceesay (unknown injury), Niklas Moisander (knee injury) and Anders Christiansen (calf injury) are all ruled out of this clash.

Sirius enter this clash hoping to get their second-ever win over Malmo. However, they will be looking for their first win over Malmo at the Eleda Stadium. Last week, they suffered yet another defeat against Malmo after going 2-0 up in the first half. Sirius's performance away from home has been below par, winning just once in their last five games. They sit 9th on the table with 18 points in 15 games, scoring 24 and conceding 25. However, Tobias Carlsson will miss this clash due to a knee injury.

Malmo - Ricardo Friedrich, Nils Zatterstorm, Pontus Jansson, Jens Larsen, Busanello, Sergio Pena, Lasse Berg Johnsen, Taha Abdi Ali, Hugo Bolin, Erik Botheim, Sebastian Nanasi.

Sirius - Jakob Tannander, Henrik Castergen, Patrick Nwadike, Malcom Jeng, Dennis Widgren, Noel Mileskog, Daniel Stensson, Adam Wikman, Leo Walta, Melker Heier, August Ljunberg.

Malmö are in great form, losing only once in their previous 11 matches in all competitions. They are also good at playing against Sirius. They have not lost a game against Sirius at the Eleda Stadium. However, they almost suffered a shocking defeat against them last weekend before they bounced back in the second half. So, the league leaders will get a second-half win over Sirius.
