In their last game, Malmö suffered their first loss of the season, being defeated 3-1 by Elfsborg. Malmo controlled the game's tempo with 81% possession of the ball, but they couldn't capitalise on this to win. Before their last loss, they had won their last 8 games. Malmo have the best defence in the league, conceding just 4 goals this season. They have kept 5 clean sheets in their past 6 league matches this season. They sit first on the table with 18 points in 7 games.

• Oliver Berg will miss this game due to an ankle injury.
• Stefano Vecchia is sidelined with a back injury.
• Niklas Moisander is out of this clash due to an arm injury.
• Daníel Gudjohnsen is ruled out due to a back injury.

Both sides have met 16 times since 2018. Goteborg won 5, Malmo won 9, and 2 ended in draws. The last game between the 2 sides ended in a 2-2 draw.

Goteborg – Elis Bishesari, Sebastian Hausner, Gustav Svensson, Adam Carlén, Anders Trondsen, Malick Yalcouye, Andreas Pyndt Andersen, Thomas Santos, Kolbeinn Thórdarson, Paulos Abraham, Laurs Skjellerup.

Malmo — Ricardo Friedrich, Anton Tinnerholm, Pontus Jansson, Martin Olsson, Taha Abdi Ali, Otto Rosengren, Sergio Peña, Sebastian Nanasi, Busanello, Isaac Kiese Thelin, Erik Botheim.

This clash will, without any doubt, see lots of goals. 8 of the last 9 away games of Malmo have seen at least 4 goals being scored. Moreover, Malmo have kept 5 clean sheets in their past 6 league matches this season. They allowed only 4 goals in 7 league games this season, but 3 came in the previous round. Goteborg scored at least one goal in four of the last five matches, so I have no reason not to go with the BTTS option.

Goteborg have not won any of their 3 home games this season, and Malmo have been superb this season, with their first loss coming in the previous round. So, Malmo will win easily here.
