Round 20 of the Swedish Allsvenskan comes to an end on Monday evening when Norrkoping and AIK lock horns at Nya Parken.
Glen Riddersholm’s men are on a run of two successive wins and will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce for the first time since May.
Norrkoping continued their fine run of results as they came from behind to claim a thrilling 3-1 victory over Halmstads last weekend.
Riddersholm’s men have now won four of their last five league matches, with a 2-1 loss against Hammarby on July 30 being the exception.
With 31 points from 19 matches, Norrkoping are currently fifth in the Allsvenskan table, 10 points off the Conference League qualification places.
Elsewhere, AIK cruised through the second round of the Swedish Cup as they picked up a comfortable 3-0 victory over Dalkurd on Wednesday.
Henning Berg’s side now turn their attention to the Allsvenskan, where they are undefeated in their last five matches, claiming two wins and three draws since a 2-1 defeat against Hacken on July 8.
Despite their recent upturn in form, AIK still find themselves languishing in the danger zone as they sit 15th in the league table, level on 19 points with Goteborg in the relegation playoff spot.
