In the second round of league fixtures after the mid-season break, Sirius will welcome GAIS to Studenternas IP on Saturday. A draw on their return to action last weekend saw the visitors drop to sixth spot in the Allsvenskan table , while their visitors fell to 11th place following a defeat to Mjallby. Sirius head into the weekend aiming to get back to winning ways in the Swedish Allsvenskan and extend their lead over the relegation zone, having dropped into the bottom six on their return from the mid-season break last time out.
Following an eighth-placed finish in 2023, the Blasvart endured a tough start to the new term, earning just 12 points from their first 11 outings including a five-game winless streak across April and May, but they were then able to head into the break on a positive note, picking up a fourth league win of the season in style. Christer Mattiasson 's side hosted Norrkoping and dished out a 5-1 beating, with Marcus Lindberg and Yousef Salech netting braces alongside a Noel Milleskog goal, but they were unable to pick up where they left off on the return from the break last weekend. Aiming to make it back-to-back victories to move further clear of the relegation zone, the Blasvart visited third-placed Mjallby on Saturday and fell short in agonising fashion, going ahead through Leo Walta and pulling back level at two goals apiece in the 84th minute through Filip Olsson , only for Adam Stahl to snatch all three points for the hosts by converting a penalty in.
