Allsvenskan
Malmö have traditionally enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture, particularly at Eleda Stadion, where they have consistently produced strong performances against Elfsborg. The Sky Blues have secured three consecutive wins over Elfsborg on home turf.
Malmö team overview
Malmö enter this match in excellent form after collecting seven points from their last three Allsvenskan matches. A convincing 4-0 home victory over IFK Göteborg was followed by a disciplined 1-0 away win against Degerfors before they earned a 2-2 draw away to Kalmar in their most recent league fixture.
The defending champions have looked particularly dangerous in attack, scoring 12 goals across their last five competitive matches.
There are, however, several absentees to manage. Veteran midfielder Anders Christiansen and captain Pontus Jansson remain unavailable through injury, while Busanello, Yanis Karabelyov and Oscar Sjöstrand are also sidelined. Midfielder Kenan Busuladzic is suspended for this fixture, forcing Malmö into at least one midfield adjustment.

Elfsborg team overview
Elfsborg travel to Malmö searching for a response after a difficult spell of results. They have lost three consecutive Allsvenskan matches, suffering defeats against Hammarby, GAIS and Sirius, with the latest ending in a 3-1 home loss.
Despite their recent slump, Elfsborg remain a technically gifted side capable of troubling any defence when allowed space in transition. Their midfield continues to move the ball well, but defensive lapses have become increasingly costly against stronger opposition.
Team news is relatively positive compared to their opponents. Experienced striker Per Frick remains unavailable through injury, but there are no major fresh suspension concerns ahead of Sunday's trip to Malmö.

Prediction
Malmö's home advantage and stronger recent form make them deserved favourites, although Elfsborg have enough attacking threat to find the net. These fixtures historically have also been high scoring; thus, expect this matchup to produce over 2.5 goals.
Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals.
Three reasons we expect Over 2.5 Goals
- Over 2.5 goals has been the outcome in four of the last five head-to-head meetings between the sides.
- Over 2.5 goals has also landed in eight of Malmö's last nine matches.
- Malmö's home matches have been particularly high scoring - all eight fixtures at Eleda Stadium have seen over 2.5 goals.
