Sirius form and stats
5-1-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Allsvenskan numbers at home for Sirius so far this season. When Sirius hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Degerfors, Varberg BoIS, Sirius, Helsingborg and GIF Sundsvall), they have won 3 of 3 matches!

There were no winners in Norrköping's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Mjallby (placed 9th). Drawing 2-2 against Mjallby after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Riddersholm needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
