Head-to-head statistics Sirius - Malmo
IK Sirius Team Overview
Sirius finished ninth last season and are currently top of the table with 42 points. Andreas Engelmark is in his second season in charge, and the team's main strength is their attack. They have the best numbers in Allsvenskan: 47 goals in 18 matches, 23 of them at home. The defence hasn't reached that level - 26 conceded, 14 of them in Uppsala. That's the story of their summer: three times Sirius have let slip a lead they'd already built. Twice against MjΓ€llby they were three goals ahead, and against Brommapojkarna they led by two. The second time against MjΓ€llby it cost them all three points. On Wednesday, Sirius ended their poor run in the cup - they kept a clean sheet away to Friska Viljor.

Malmo Team Overview
MalmΓΆ are Sweden's most decorated club, with 24 league titles, but this season has been a different story. On 26 May the club parted ways with Miguel Γngel RamΓrez, and on 30 June Gaute Helstrup was announced as his replacement. Away from home has been their stronger suit: five wins from nine matches on the road, keeping clean sheets in four of them. MalmΓΆ have scored in 15 consecutive Allsvenskan away matches. Their form has been slipping, though - the team have taken six points from their last five league matches. In the previous round, MalmΓΆ hosted DjurgΓ₯rden and lost 0-3. Helstrup afterwards admitted that his side had stretched and left themselves open to counter-attacks. The visitors have been without their first-choice centre-back since April, with Pontus Jansson ruled out for the rest of the season.

Total Goals Prediction
At least three goals have been scored in 12 of the last 14 head-to-head meetings. This season, Sirius are also showing high scoring numbers - averaging 2.61 goals per match, while MalmΓΆ average 1.78. On top of that, both sides have consistently averaged more than 2 goals per match over their last 10 games. All of this points to a strong chance of Total Goals - Over 2.5 landing.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Sirius have both scored and conceded in 7 consecutive home head-to-head matches against MalmΓΆ. Sirius are also consistently productive - averaging 2.61 goals per match this season and 2.56 at home - but they concede regularly too, at 1.44 goals per game. MalmΓΆ, in their last 10 away matches, are averaging 2.2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded. All of this points towards Both Teams to Score - Yes.
β Editor's Prediction
Sirius have scored more than one goal in 20 of their last 21 Allsvenskan matches. MalmΓΆ are currently conceding heavily - eight goals in their last five league games. At home, Sirius are equally consistent: two goals or more in 11 of their last 12 league matches. In head-to-head meetings at Studenternas, Sirius have scored at least two in 6 of the last 7. We don't expect the visitors to hold the league leaders to a single goal. The bet is Sirius Team Total - Over 1.5. Predicted score - 2:1.
