Swedish giants Malmo have the chance to go 10 points clear in the Allsvenskan when they host Sirius on Saturday. These two are 20 points apart, with Malmo top on 38 points. Here’s a look at the stats that could define this match.

Malmo have recovered from their shock loss to Mjallby and come here on two straight wins. Their most recent outing produced a 4-1 home win against KÍ on Tuesday in the Champions League. Conceding 19 minutes to time meant Malmo have now failed to keep a clean sheet in six straight games.

However, they scored in each of their last 20 league matches and this should build their confidence. In those 20 games, Malmo failed to win just five, a run strengthened by 10 straight wins at home in the league. Eight of those wins were with clean sheets.

This match rarely goes in Sirius’ favor; each of their last three meetings with Malmo ended in defeat. The latest of those was just a week back, as Sirius let slip a 2-0 lead to lose the game 3-4. Sirius will not only be disappointed by that loss; they’ve been opened up in recent matches against Malmo.

In eight of nine meetings with their hosts, Sirius conceded three or more goals. It doesn’t help that they come into this game with just three wins in their last 13 matches. Sirius conceded three or more goals in three of their last five matches but they scored at least thrice in three of their last four.

There’s no hiding the fact that the visitors have been poor on their travels. In their last six away league matches, they lost four times.
