IK Norrköping is in dire need of three points to secure Allsvenskan spot. Sirius will visit Platinumcars Arena to face their parent club. Sirius has a clear advantage in previous meetings at Platinumcars Arena, with five wins and two draws against IK Norrköping. But Peking is a team not to be underestimated, with Christoffer Nyman leading the charge. For Castegren & co, it's all about shutting down “Totte” and Sigurgeirsson, who are considered the biggest threat to Sirius' goal. For Melker Heier and Marcus Lindberg, it's about keeping an eye on Traustason, who, like Heier, is a skilled midfielder and has scored five goals so far this season. When looking at both IFK Norrköping and IK Sirius, there are similarities between the two teams in how they have handled matches. Both Peking and Blåsvart have had huge problems with their defense. For Sirius, the biggest setback was against Djurgården, and for Norrköping, it was a disastrous loss to Brommapojkarna 6-4. For Sirius, it has looked better since the 3Arena match. They have really managed to close the gap and increase their goal production significantly in these matches. Both teams possess a huge offensive power when they have a good day. Let's hope that history's advantages fall in place even tomorrow. On the topic of offensive power, Sirius' key player is our Finnish national team player Leo Walta. The midfielder is currently on 15 goals and is chasing the top three Diabate, Besara, and Priske. With relatively easy opposition tomorrow and next week, there is a good chance he can catch up with these three. In the internal goal-scoring chart, Robbie Ure should not be forgotten. The striker is on 11 goals, but has also added physical aspects to his game in recent matches. Although Ure did not score against Elfsborg last time, he had a fully satisfactory performance by winning back the ball and holding off the defenders when he was served with passes. The hope is that the team can finish the season in a nice way. Two wins and they will land on 39 points under head coach Andreas Engelmark's first season at the club. That was not expected after 14 points on 18 matches. Qualified guess on the starting lineup: Goalkeeper: David Celic Defense: Right back – Henrik Castegren Center back – Simon Sandberg Center back – Tobias Anker Left back – Oscar Krusnell Midfield: Central midfielder – Melker Heier Central midfielder – Marcus Lindberg Attacking midfielder – Leo Walta Forward: Right forward – Joakim Persson Center forward – Robbie Ure Left forward – Isak Bjerkebo
