Sirius vs IFK Norrkoping Predictions

• Sirius have drawn their last two home games against sides currently in the bottom four
• Norrkoping have drawn two of their last five away league games
• It finished all square when these sides met in the Swedish Cup earlier this year

Stalemate could be on the cards

Sirius and Norkopping look hard to separate ahead of Saturday’s Allsvenskan clash of two clubs desperately trying to stay or get out of the relegation places.

Sirius are just above the danger zone – one point better off than their guests, who occupy the relegation play-off place.

Both clubs will want to ensure that they avoid slipping into the bottom two and may settle on a point apiece from this clash which comes just before the mid-season break.

Both teams tend to score when Norrkoping play

The two clubs have pretty good track records for stalemates with Sirius having drawn their last two home games against sides currently in the bottom four and two of Norrkoping’s last five away league games finishing all square.

It is also worth noting that it finished 2-2 when these sides met in the Swedish Cup earlier this year and Norrkoping matches usually see both teams find the back of the net.

A score draw is the likeliest outcome and a 1-1 prediction gets our vote because there will probably be more of an onus on defence in this relegation six-pointer than the early-season cup clash.
