Sirius form and stats
Sirius have played 4 Allsvenskan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). With Sirius having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Mattiasson.
A good away victory last time out for Sirius, who won 2-1 against Brommapojkarna (placed 7th). A huge relief, as that was the first league win after failing to win nine consecutive fixtures. Manager Mattiasson felt very clever after Matthews scored the winning goal against Brommapojkarna, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 63rd minute. Sylisufaj, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the declared top performer for the team in that fixture, and was presented with a rating of 7.82 (out of 10). Sylisufaj scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Ahead of that match, Sirius lost 1-2 at home to Halmstad.Goals are plenty in this club's league matches, with 5 in a row containing at least three goals (over 2.5).
