On the 22nd of August, Sirius hosts Häcken at Studenternas Ip in a meeting of these two mismatched Allsvenskan teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Sirius recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Helsingborg. Neither Helsingborg nor Sirius could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 13 and 13 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Sirius is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Häcken recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Mjällby. Mikkel Rygaard Jensen scored the first goal for Häcken in the 77th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Mjällby was frustrated by Häcken’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Häcken ended the match with the shutout victory. Häcken should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Bravida Arena, Häcken won by a score of 4 to 3. Alexander Jeremejeff struck first for Häcken in the 13th minute, then Oscar Uddenäs added another in the 18th minute on a feed from Kristoffer Hansen.
Häcken is glad to have Alexander Jeremejeff in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 6 goals. Sirius’s most prolific scorer has been Marcus Mathisen. He has netted 2 goals over the last five matches.
