Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Allsvenskan match.
Both Östers IF and IK Sirius currently sit in the lower half of the Allsvenskan standings, but both sides come into this fixture with a boost in morale after winning their most recent matches.
Östers IF
Östers IF are on a four-match unbeaten run, registering two wins and two draws, giving them the fifth-best run of form in the league. They have collected 11 points overall, with the bulk of those coming in the latter half of May. However, a nearly month-long break followed, raising the question of whether that pause could disrupt their momentum.
IK Sirius
Unlike this season’s newly promoted clubs, IK Sirius are competing in their ninth consecutive Allsvenskan campaign. They secured a ninth-place finish in 2024, but their current points-per-game rate stands at just one—helped significantly by a surprising 3:1 victory over AIK Fotboll in the last round. That result was unexpected, considering AIK Fotboll were second in the standings and had been conceding under a goal per game. Home advantage may have been crucial, as the team has delivered in every fixture played there.
Östers IF vs IK Sirius Prediction
IK Sirius are winless in their last five away games, earning just two draws in that period. Östers IF, who have lifted the Swedish championship four times, have been out of the top division for a while, so their prospects are best indicated by their 3:0 away win in the Swedish Cup back in February. While another victory isn’t certain, the team should at least be capable of avoiding defeat.
