AIK and Malmo will battle for three points in a Swedish Allsvenskan matchday 22 clash on Sunday. The hosts will be looking to build on the 1-0 away victory they registered over Varnamo before the international break a fortnight ago.
Ioannis Pittas' fourth-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Malmo, meanwhile, comfortably thrashed Djurgarden with a 4-0 home win. They were three goals up at the break courtesy of goals from Hugo Bolin and Anders Christiansen while Jacob Une Larsson scored a 22nd-minute own goal. Isaac Kiese Thelin completed the rout with 10 minutes left on the clock.
The win left the Sky Blue at the summit of the standings, having garnered 48 points from 21 games. AIK are fifth with 35 points to their name.

AIK vs Malmo Prediction
AIK will be full of confidence due to their good run of form which has seen them win six games on the bounce. However, they have won just one of the last 18 head-to-head games, losing nine matches in this run.
Malmo are on course to defend their crown and currently hold an almost insurmountable 11-point gap at the summit with nine games left in the campaign. Henrik Rydström's side ended their three-game winless run in emphatic fashion last time out.
The visitors are the slight favorites but this could be a tricky encounter due to AIK's form. We are backing Malmo to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
