Sirius vs Mjallby prediction: Visitors to reign supreme
Key Stats

- The blue-blacks have won just twice in their previous six home games (D1, L3).

Correct score prediction: Sirius 1-3 Mjallby
Sirius recently crashed to a 3-1 defeat to Goteborg, marking their second successive game without victory. Andreas Engelmark’s side sit in 13th position, level on 13 points with relegation battlers Degerfors. As Sirius play their ninth straight season in the Swedish top-tier, they are in desperate need of points to bridge their gap to the top half of the table and emulate finishes from their previous two campaigns.
However, Mjallby arrive in Uppsala in a commanding position at the top of standings, one point clear of second-placed Hammarby. Unbeaten in their last seven Allsvenskan matches, there is little reason to doubt the league leaders’ credentials for an away triumph.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Odds stacked against the hosts
- HOME: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.2%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 19/20 (1.95) – 51.2%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Arguably the most in-form side in the top division, Mjallby carry comfortable odds of 19/20 (1.95), suggests a 51.2% probability of emerging triumphant against a side they’ve beaten six times in their last seven meetings.

Player to watch: Nicklas Rojkjaer
Having provided an all-important assist – his fourth of the season –for Jacob Bergstrom’s solitary strike in the 1-0 win over Oster last matchday, Rojkjaer is a real threat to upset Sirius’ home crowd. The Dane also has five strikes to his name, although his last goal, a matchwinner, came against Goteborg back in early May.
