Malmo preview: Eyeing their third consecutive victory
Malmo followed last Tuesday's 3-1 win over Iberia with another 3-1 victory against Norrkoping in the Allsvenskan, extending their unbeaten run to five games.
With an already healthy advantage in this tie, the Swedish giants have one leg in the next round but cannot afford to remain complacent heading into this clash.
On the injury front, head coach Henrik Rydstrom has some fitness issues at hand. Erik Botheim has not played since May due to a broken leg. Goalkeeper Johan Dahlin and forward Stefano Vecchia are edging closer to full recovery after cruciate ligament injury layoffs since last year.
Doubts also linger over the fitness of Martin Olsson, who made the bench last Tuesday and over the weekend. The manager is expected to use the same players from the first leg, having rested most of them last weekend.
Predicted lineup: Ellborg (GK), Busanello, Rossler, Jansson, Larsen, Bolin, Johnson, Rosengren, Karlsson, Gudjohnsen & Berg.

Player to watch: Iuri Tabatadze
As Iberia hope to overturn a two-goal deficit, they will look to Iuri Tabatadze to provide the goals. With three goals in his last three appearances, it will be interesting to see how the 25-year-old performs on Tuesday evening.
