Mjallby and Sirius get round 13 of the Swedish Allsvenskan underway when they square off at the Strandvallen on Saturday. Anders Torstensson’s men head into the weekend on a five-game winning streak against the visitors and will look to extend this dominant run.
Mjallby turned in a resilient team display last weekend when they fought back from behind twice to salvage a 2-2 friendly draw against Danish outfit Hvidovre.
Torstensson’s side now return to action in the Allsvenskan, where they are on a run of two consecutive wins, beating Hacken 2-1 on May 29 to end their two-game losing streak, four days before securing a 2-1 victory over Varnamo.
Mjallby have picked up 23 points from 13 Allsvenskan matches to sit third in the league table, nine points adrift of league leaders Malmo.
Sirius, on the other hand, scored twice in the final 15 minutes against Djurgardens last Friday as they snatched a 2-2 draw when they met in a friendly at the Enavallen Stadium.
Manager Christer Mattiasson will hope his side can build on that performance as they look to secure successive league wins, having thrashed Norrkoping 5-1 at the Studenternas IP on June 1.
With 15 points from 12 matches, Sirius are 10th in the Allsvenskan table, level on points with 11th-placed Brommapojkarna.
