Allsvenskan leaders Malmo make the trip to Hacken on Monday night for what should be an entertaining 90 minutes.

The visitors have picked up 24 points from their opening nine league games, establishing themselves as the clear favourite to win the league title once again. However, hosts Hacken have a decent record against their guests and will be looking to cause an upset on Monday in what should be a close and competitive match.

Player to watch – Sebastian Nanasi

Malmo's 22-year-old midfielder Sebastian Nanasi is developing really well and could soon be set for a move to one of Europe's big leagues.

Nanasi scored 11 league goals last season for the champions and has netted four times and provided six assists in his opening nine appearances for the current campaign.

The Malmo midfielder is scoring and creating goals on a regular basis

We're backing the former Kristianstad player to shine on Monday night away at Hacken in what should be a tough game for the league leaders.
