Malmö FF vs IK Sirius Fotboll Prediction: The league leaders will win

Both the Blue Ones and the Blue-Black squads come into the Eleda Stadion having suffered defeat in their most recent exhibition matches, which were played against Goteborg and Hammarby respectively. Sirius, currently riding an undefeated streak in the Allsvenskan, will meet Malmo, the current league leaders, on Saturday, July 1.

Malmo are presently on top of the Allsvenskan table with 31 points after 12 games, two more than second-placed Elfsborg.

Following back-to-back victories against Vernamo and Degerfors, the Blue Ones regained the momentum they needed to continue winning games in the Allsvenskan. This season, they have won ten of their 12 league games. The team's preparation for the upcoming league challenge is hindered somewhat by the fact that Anders Christiansen and Derek Cornelius are both injured and unable to play. Injuries have also forced long-time teammates Anton Tinnerholm and Pontus Jansson to sit out.

It should be noted that this side have not suffered a loss in any of their previous eight home matches against Christer Mattiasson's squad, and they will be looking to extend this remarkable record.

On Monday, a friendly match between Sirius and Hammarby resulted in a crushing 4-1 loss for Sirius. With 14 points after 12 games played, Sirius occupy 11th place in the league.

After suffering a 2-1 defeat to Halmstads in May, the Blsvart have won three straight games in the Allsvenskan, scoring six goals while conceding none.

After starting the season winless in nine straight games, Black-Blues have won their last two and are now seven points clear of the relegation zone.

To continue their rise up the Allsvenskan standings, the team's manager, Christer Mattiasson, has a healthy roster for the forthcoming game (with only Melker Heier having suffered a recent injury). It has been a long time since we've seen Patrik Karlsson, David Nilsson, Andreas Murbeck, Filip Olsson, or Oli Omarsson play due to injuries.

Malmo FF - Johan Dahlin, Lasse Nielsen, Niklas Moisander, Martin Olsson, Busanello, Hugo Larsson, Sergio Peña, Sebastian Nanasi, Hugo Bolin, Taha Abdi Ali, Joseph Ceesay.

Sirius - Jakob Tannander, Jakob Voelkerling Persson, Patrick Nwadike, Marcus Mathisen, Dennis Widgren, Jamie Roche, Andre Alsanati, Daniel Stensson, Aron Bjarnason, Edi Sylisufaj, Tashreeq Matthews.

Even if the away team scores in this game, they won't be able to come out on the losing end because even one goal won't be enough to overcome the home team's advantage.
