Malmo and Mjallby will battle for three points in a Swedish Allsvenskan matchday 25 clash on Sunday (September 29th). The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat at home to Rangers in their opening game of the UEFA Europa League (league phase) on Thursday.

Nedim Bajrami broke the deadlock before the first minute was up, while second half substitute Ross McCausland scored a late second to help the Scots claim all three points.

The Sky Blue will now turn their focus to the league where their last game saw them thrash Hacken 4-0 at home.
