With both clubs safe from the drop and out of the continental qualification places race, pride is the primary objective at Gamla Ullevi.
Sitting ninth on 38 points, IFK Goteborg have little left to play for over the final stretch. They saw an unbeaten run snapped last time out in a 1-0 away defeat to BK Hacken, leaving them with just one win alongside three draws in their last five league outings.
Seventh-placed Malmo FF sit on 40 points, similarly safe from the drop and detached from the European shake-up. They arrive seeking a response following a 2-1 home defeat against Hammarby, though their recent travels have been fruitful with four wins from their last six away games.
