Häcken enter this upcoming match buoyed by their recent accomplishment of securing a commanding 5-0 victory against Zalgiris in the Europa League qualification, thereby sealing an impressive 8-1 aggregate triumph. Their form in the domestic league has been equally impressive, registering back-to-back wins in their most recent outings. They secured a solid 2-0 triumph over Varberg, followed by a convincing 3-1 win against Elfsborg.

These commendable performances have translated to a notable accumulation of 41 points from 19 matches in the league. Their offensive prowess has been evident, with an impressive 47 goals scored, while their defense has conceded 20 goals. Currently trailing the league leaders Elfsborg by a mere 1 point, Häcken find themselves in a prime position to contend for the top spot.

Sirius stride into this encounter with renewed confidence, having secured a decisive 3-0 victory against Kalmar in their last game. This triumph arrives as a welcome respite after navigating through a challenging stretch of three consecutive losses.

Despite their recent resurgence, Sirius tread cautiously as they are positioned just one point above the precipice of relegation. Across 19 demanding matches, they've managed to accrue 20 hard-fought points, a tally accompanied by 24 goals scored and 28 goals conceded.

The road ahead, however, appears steep and arduous for Sirius as they are set to face the formidable force that is Häcken. The task of overcoming this mountainous challenge posed by a robust Häcken side will undoubtedly prove to be a formidable undertaking.

BK Hacken - Peter Abrahamsson, Simon Sandberg, Johan Hammar, Even Hovland, Kristoffer Lund, Mikkel Rygaard, Samuel Gustafson, Amane Romeo, Momodou Lamin Sonko, Srdjan Hrstic, Amor Layouni.

Sirius - Jakob Tannander, Jakob Voelkerling Persson, Henrik Castegren, Malcom Jeng, Tashreeq Matthews, Joeri de Kamps, Daniel Stensson, Melker Heier, Dennis Widgren, Joakim Persson, Wessam Abou Ali.

Häcken continue to blaze a trail with their impressive streak of form, leading us to anticipate another seamless acquisition of three points in the ongoing title race this coming Sunday. Despite the expectation of relatively smooth sailing for Häcken, it's worth noting that Sirius exhibited their scoring prowess by netting three goals in their recent weekend victory. Therefore, it wouldn't be astonishing to witness Sirius making their presence felt on the scoresheet once again.
