We have four more fixtures remaining this week in the Swedish Allsvenskan and one of the games includes the defending champions.

The match between Malmo FF and Elfsborg will take place on the 28th of May at the Eleda Stadion. The hosts begin this round of games top of the table on 28 points while the visitors are in 7th place on 16 points.

Malmo FF come into the match having recorded a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Kalmar last time out in the Allsvenskan.

It took just 4 minutes for the defending champions to open the scoring and they were 2-0 up 3 minutes later. Malmo FF scored 2 further goals before halftime and added a fifth goal in the 56th minute.

The victory over Kalmar means Malmo FF are undefeated in their last 4 fixtures. There have been wins in the Allsvenskan over GAIS at home and IFK Goteborg away plus a 2-2 draw at Hacken.

Trends show Malmo FF are difficult to beat at home in the league and they are undefeated in their last 12 home Allsvenskan games. They have won each of their last 8 home league matches and have a strong recent record against Elfsborg, remaining undefeated in 21 of their last 23 home Allsvenskan fixtures.

Malmo FF have been impressive at the back when playing at home in the league and they have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 7 Allsvenskan matches on home soil.

Elfsborg make the trip to the Eleda Stadion on the back of a 2-0 home victory over Halmstad. With the score 0-0 at halftime, Elfsborg took the lead in the 49th minute and secured the 3 points thanks to a second goal in the 89th minute.

The win over Halmstad means Elfsborg have won 4 of their 6 most recent Allsvenskan fixtures. All 4 of those victories have come at home, including wins over Sirius, AIK, and upcoming opponents, Malmo FF.

The stats show Elfsborg have been struggling in recent away league games and they have lost each of their last 4 Allsvenskan matches on the road.

They have conceded 2 or more goals in each of those 4 defeats and failed to find the back of the net themselves in 2 of those games.

Team news and Malmo FF prepare for the match without the injured quartet of Anton Tinnerholm, Stefano Vecchia, Niklas Moisander, and Daníel Gudjohnsen.

Elfsborg travel with just one player unavailable and defender Niklas Hult misses out due to a thigh injury.

Elfsborg may have recorded a victory over Malmo FF earlier this season but we predict it will be a different outcome at the home of the champions.

Malmo FF have a good home record while Elfsborg have been struggling in recent away matches. Our algorithm points towards a home win, with Malmo FF keeping a clean sheet.
