National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's IFK Österåker or Sirius that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Österåker nor Sirius as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
IFK Österåker form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Svenska Cupen for IFK Österåker, as the manager Sjöquist led his troops to eliminate Skå IK Bygdegård, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season, IFK Österåker's Svenska Cupen journey ended in the 2nd round.The supporters are hoping that IFK Österåker will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the match against Jarfalla. Österåker were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Before that, IFK Österåker drew at home versus Arlanda.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Division 2: Norra Svealand game versus Enskede in only three days. This game is also played here at Österåkers Friidrottsarena.
