Hammarby made a fine start to the season, winning their opening three games without conceding while scoring eight goals. However, their loss over the weekend saw them come crashing down to earth. They have not had the best of times in this fixture in recent years.
Malmo, for their part, have not been at their best this season, drawing each of their last two games. The disappointing nature of their most recent stalemate means they will aim to bounce back and avoid falling further behind the summit in their quest to three-peat the Allsvenskan.
