Malmo return to action in the Swedish Allsvenskan when they journey to Spiris Arena to face Oster on Saturday. Martin Foyston’s men, who have failed to win their last six home matches, will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run and begin their push from the wrong end of the table.
Oster were left empty-handed for a second consecutive game as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Brommapojkarna at the 3Arena last Sunday.
This followed a 1-0 home loss at the hands of Mjallby on July 5, a result which saw their five-game unbeaten run (2W, 3D) in the league come to an end.
Oster have picked up just 12 points from their 15 Allsvenskan matches so far to sit bottom but one in the table, five points above last-placed Varnamo.
Meanwhile, Malmo booked their spot in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round on Tuesday when they picked up a 3-1 victory over FC Iberia to complete a 6-2 aggregate win over the Georgian outfit.
Henrik Rydstrom’s men now turn their focus to the league, where they are on a four-game unbeaten run (2W, 2D) and have lost just one of their last nine matches since May 11.
With 27 points from 16 Allsvenskan matches, Malmo are currently fifth in the league standings, five points behind third-placed AIK in the Conference League playoff spot.

Oster vs Malmo Prediction
While Oster will be looking to stop the rot and climb out of the drop zone, they are in for a tough 90 minutes against a well-drilled Malmo side.
Given the gulf in quality and depth, we predict Rydstrom’s men will pick up maximum points at Spiris Arena.
Prediction: Oster 1-3 Malmo
