IK Sirius FK
- IK Sirius FK are currently 13th in Allsvenskan 2025 with 26 points from 25 games.
- IK Sirius FK has not been in great shape recently with two wins and three losses in their last five matches.
- Andreas Engelmark’s side was trounced 8-2 away to Djurgaarden and were outplayed 1-3 at home by Degerfors in their two most recent assignments, making our IK Sirius FK vs Malmo FF betting tips particularly interesting to consider.
- Engelmark has instilled a pragmatic, compact and, at times, counter-attacking game plan at the club since taking the helm in December 2024.
- Leo Walta is their main goal threat with 11 strikes in 25 Allsvenskan 2025 appearances to date and they generally set up with a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation, looking to sit deep with a compact block, press moderately in their own half and look for chances on the break.
Malmo FF
- Malmo FF are 5th with 42 from 25.
- Malmo FF, on the other hand, are a much more direct and aggressive side that new boss Anes Mravac, who was appointed at the end of September 2025, has shifted to a flatter 4-4-2, higher pressing game in which they transition much more quickly and directly from defence to attack.
- Malmo FF has not lost any of their last two away games (1 win, 1 draw).
- Malmo has had a very solid away record in the league this season with five wins, five draws and only two defeats from 12 matches, averaging 1.58 goals scored and 0.92 conceded per game.
Key Players
- Leo Walta is their main goal threat with 11 strikes in 25 Allsvenskan 2025 appearances to date.
- Sebastian Joergensen has been one of their most dangerous players lately, scoring five goals in 14 Allsvenskan 2025 matches to date.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have got this one about right with Malmo priced at 2.15, Sirius at 3.1 and the X at 3.5.
- However, we are going to swerve the X in this clash of styles between two teams that have struggled defensively lately, with Malmo’s pressing style and intent to play through the middle at a higher tempo likely to favour the Over 2.5 goal bet at 1.66. In addition, this IK Sirius FK vs Malmo FF prediction supports backing goals in this fixture.
- Malmo have been more aggressive and played with more tempo under Mravac, which is a key factor in the IK Sirius FK vs Malmo FF betting tips for this encounter.
Prediction
- We must give Malmo the advantage here as the superior side in this division, their better away form and the fact that they have been more aggressive and played with more tempo under Mravac.
- But we also believe Sirius’ counter-attacking nature and compactness will keep this game competitive, so we are taking the Over 2.5 option instead of Malmo to win outright.
