IK Sirius
WLLLWD
In their last fixture, IK Sirius drew 2-2 in the Allsvenskan tie with Östers IF.
In that game, IK Sirius managed 50% possession and 20 shots on goal with 5 on target. For IK Sirius, the scorers were Robbie Ure (46') and Leo Walta (76'). For their opponents, Osters IF got 15 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Ivan Kričak (70') and David Seger (95') scored for Östers IF.
The stats don’t lie, and IK Sirius have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals in all. In defence, IK Sirius seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, though.
Taking a look at their past results, IK Sirius:
- remain undefeated by IFK Göteborg when having played them away from home in the previous 2 matches in the league.
- are without a win away from home in their last 6 league games.
