Malmo's recent performance has been impressive, as they secured a 3-0 victory at home against Sirius in their previous match. Dominating possession with 76% and registering 16 shots on goal, Malmo demonstrated their attacking prowess. Isaac Kiese Thelin and Sebastian Nanasi were the standout performers, contributing to the goals scored.

After a disappointing last season, Malmo's primary objective this year is to reclaim the Allsvenskan title. Currently sitting at the top of the table with 34 points in 13 games, they hold a two-point lead over second-placed Elfsborg. The team, led by Henryk Rydstrom, have won their last three league matches, showcasing their determination and form.

Malmo have been in a scoring spree recently and is likely to continue their attacking style of play in the upcoming match. The return of forward Isaac Kiese Thelin, who scored a brace against Sirius, adds firepower to their lineup. However, several players such as Cornelius, Vecchia, Christiansen, Tinnerholm, and Lomotey are still sidelined with injuries.

Malmo are actively strengthening their squad by adding new players. Pontus Jansson, a defender who previously played for Brentford, has returned to Malmo. The recent signing of Otto Rosengren from Mjallby and Sebastian Jorgensen from Silkeborg further bolsters their roster. On the other hand, they have also sold Hugo Larsson to Eintracht Frankfurt for nine million euros.

With their solid form and continuous squad improvements, Malmo aim to maintain their lead in the league and secure another Allsvenskan title.

Mjallby faced a tough defeat in their last away game against Hacken, losing 0-3. With 16 points from 13 games, they currently occupy a mid-table position in the league. While they had a promising start to the season, their recent form has been inconsistent, winning only one of their last six matches. In their most recent game, Mjallby played a 1-1 draw at home against Kalmar.

Despite the draw, Mjallby had the upper hand in terms of goal-scoring opportunities, as reflected by their 2.68 expected goals (xG) statistics compared to Kalmar's 0.69 xG. However, they were unable to convert their chances into a victory, resulting in a shared point. The team will be looking to regain their momentum and improve their results in the upcoming match against Malmo.

Mjallby's midfielders Silas Nwankwo and Adam Petersson are expected to be the only absentees in the squad. Their availability will be missed, but the rest of the team will be ready to compete and challenge Malmo. Despite their recent struggles, Mjallby will aim to put up a strong performance and potentially cause an upset against the league leaders.

Malmo FF - Johan Dahlin, Joseph Ceesay, Lasse Nielsen, Niklas Moisander, Taha Abdi Ali, Oscar Lewicki, Sergio Peña, Busanello, Sebastian Nanasi, Isaac Kiese Thelin, Moustafa Zeidan.

Mjallby - Noel Törnqvist, Noah Eile, Colin Rösler, Tom Pettersson, Herman Johansson, Viktor Gustafsson, Arvid Brorsson, Jesper Gustavsson, Adam Stahl, Max Fenger, David Löfquist.

Malmö FF are expected to dominate the match and create more scoring opportunities, it is likely that Mjällby AIF will also manage to find the back of the net at some point during the game.
