Sirius form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sirius so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-5 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Sirius's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Impressive finishing from Matthews, Ali, Heier and Persson secured the home win 7-0 against Varberg in their previous game. That victory felt nice as this team had gone three league fixtures without victory. As mentioned above, Sirius was the only team on the pitch versus Varberg in their previous game, winning 7-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Persson's lethal finishing against Varberg. three goals were a big reason for the important victory. Midfielder Persson was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 9.5. Persson scored three goals, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 19 successful passes (of 22 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Halmstad wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
