Malmo will host Sirius at the Eleda Stadium on Saturday in the 15th round of the 2022 Allsvenskan campaign.
Malmo are enjoying a good run of form in the league at the moment and are now pushing for the top of the table. They beat Norrkoping 2-0 in their last league outing with new signing Moustafa Zeidan dropping a man-of-the-match performance in his debut for the club as he scored the opener and assisted for the second.
The hosts sit fifth in the league table with 27 points from 15 games. They were beaten in the Champions League qualifiers on Tuesday and will be looking to return to winning ways here.
Sirius have had mixed results in the league this season but have performed well of late. They beat Degerforfs 2-0 in their last game via goals from Marcus Mathisen and Adam Hellborg in either half before Christian Kouakou squandered the chance to make it three from the penalty spot.
The visitors sit eighth in the league table with 21 points picked up so far. They will be looking to build on their latest results when they play this weekend.
