Sirius and Malmö will meet again in the Swedish league, just a week after they played one of the most colourful and dramatic matches of the current Allsvenskan. As it happens, the rivals faced each other in the final game of the first round and will face each other in the second round. Last Friday in Uppsala, Sirius were more efficient in the first half and managed to take a two-goal lead. By the middle of the second half, the champion had equalised (2-2), but in the 78th minute they found themselves in the losing position again. However, Malmö pulled themselves together, scoring goals in the 83rd and 87th minutes to seal a 4-3 victory. In the week after the described match the clubs had different game and training load, but for the second meeting they will try to tune in equally responsibly. Bookmakers have identified the hosts as clear favorites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.25 on their victory.

Last season Malmo won the championship title only in the last round, having much more resources than any other club in Sweden. It seems that in the current Allsvenskan draw the Sky Blue are not going to postpone the task to such a late date. The country's most titled club finished the first round with a four-point advantage over Djurgården. Given that Malmo played their seventeenth round match at the end of May and defeated Elfsborg, the Sky Blue are seven points ahead of the capital club and can comfortably focus on Champions League qualification. It was within this tournament that Malmo hosted Klaksvik in midweek, who were defeated 4-1. Some fatigue and three goals conceded by Sirius a week ago will probably make the champions play more calmly and pragmatically in the upcoming match.

Sirius have scored a lot and conceded a lot since the June break in the Allsvenskan. However, it is unlikely, even in the case of this club, you can play with a performance of four to seven goals for a long time. In the past two championships, the rivals have not scored more than four goals in head-to-head meetings.
