Sirius hosts Falkenbergs in round 23 of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Friday, September 13th at Studenternas IP (Uppsala)
Sirius managed to break a streak of 5 consecutive defeats in the last round, having played in a draw against Elfsborg away. But to be objective, Sirius did not deserve that point. Its single shot on goal in the 49th minute became scoring, and it was an answer to a goal conceded in the 1st half. Further, Sirius only kicked the ball to hell and did not think about anything more than to keep a draw. But in general, the team is now 12th in the standings. 4 points separate it from the relegation zone, and only 2 from the playout matches.

Falkenberg’s affairs are even worse than that of the upcoming opponent. Now the team occupies the 14th line in the standings, which implies relegation playoffs. Moreover, only 2 points separate it from direct relegation. A losing streak has already lasted for 3 matches in a row. In those games, Falkenbergs managed to score only 1 goal and conceded 11. The team had only 3 wins in 22 rounds and lost 12 times. It does not pose a threat to anyone away. Only 3 draws in 11 games, one of which was gained against penultimate AFC. Other games were lost.
It is a great opportunity for Sirius to bounce off the relegation zone and to sink the competitor deeper. And the team will surely try very hard to use it. It still has a draw and 2 wins in the home field. As I noted above, Falkenbergs played a draw away only 3 times, and there was no victory. It did not win in 4 matches against Sirius in Uppsala, where the hosts of the upcoming match are based. And it lost 2 times. In the matches of these rivals, one pattern is visible. The hosts have never lost in the last 9 head-to-head matches played in this century. And this tradition will surely continue. Moreover, given the tournament situation and the complete helplessness of Falkenbergs in the championship in general and away in particular, its 3-match losing streak with just 1 goal scored, Sirius may well celebrate its third home victory in the championship. But it is necessary to insure the hosts with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Sirius to win with 0.0 handicap
