Malmo vs Vasteras Prediction
Malmo will be looking to extend their status as the only side with a 100% winning record so far. The defending champions look primed to successfully defend their crown and their blistering start to the season has also seen them book their spot in the cup final.
Vasteras won the Suprettan last season to compete in the top-flight for the first time since 1997. However, they have found the going tough on their return to this level and have lost all three games played so far, failing to score any goal. All three defeats came by one-goal defeats while they will also be inspired by their win on their most recent visit to this stadium in the cup when they claimed a shock victory.
Malmo are the heavy favorites here and anything other than a win will be considered an upset. We are backing the hosts to cruise to a comfortable victory and clean sheet.
