Malmo vs Oster Prediction
Malmo are two-time defending champions of the Allsvenskan and are the favourites to win a three-peat. They are on a three-game winless streak, losing one, though.
However, they enter as the heavy pre-game favourites and will be expected to return to winning ways, despite going winless in four home games, losing one.
Oster, for their part, returned to the top flight for the first time since 2013. They have struggled on their return to the elite stage and have managed just one victory all season, though.
Hence, expect the hosts to claim a comfortable victory and also keep a clean sheet.
