Sirius preview: Can they put the last game behind?
As they prepare to take on the league leaders Malmo for the second time in a row in the Allsvenskan league, Sirius will have to try and forget the last meeting. Despite them playing well and having a 2-0 lead at half time, as well as getting back ahead after Malmo pulled back for the first time, they ended up losing that match 4-3.
When it comes to team news, Tobias Carlsson remains out with a knee injury, while Yousef Salech, the team's top scorer, is questionable after missing the last duel with Malmo, but more likely to play than not.
Predicted lineup: Tannander (GK), Widgren, Castegren, Nwadike, Jeng, Stensson, Walta, Heier, Lindberg, Milleskog & Salech

Player to watch: Isaac Kiese Thelin
With 12 goals this season in the Allsvenskan league, Thelin is the top scorer of the competition so far and one of the key reasons why Malmo are confidently sitting in first place in the standings.
Thelin to score first?
The experienced Swedish forward has scored the first goal of the match four times this season and we wouldn't be surprised if that's the case this Saturday as well.
