The Swedish Allsvenskan returns with a fresh set of fixtures as IFK Goteborg and Sirius lock horns at the Gamla Ullevi on Sunday. Engelmark’s men head into the weekend on a four-game unbeaten run against the hosts and will be looking to extend this fine streak.
Goteborg were outplayed and outclassed by AIK last Sunday as they fell to a 3-0 loss when the two sides squared off at Strawberry Arena.
Before that, Stefan Billborn’s side were on a run of three consecutive league victories, seeing off Degerfors, Malmo and Brommapojkarna respectively.
Goteborg have lost six of their 13 Allsvenskan matches so far while claiming six wins and one draw to collect 19 points and sit seventh in the league standings.

Sirius have picked up 13 points from their 13 league matches so far to sit 11th in the standings, level on points with Halmstad, Degerfors and Brommapojkarna.
