Conclusion

Home side is big favorite in this game. Place on table, form, tradition all look on their side. However what bothers me the most is fact that both of this clubs played 4:3 this season. Sirius lost against Hacken 3:4, while IFK Norrkoeping won Falkenberg at home with 4-3. Is it possible that they repeat this "Malaysian result" tomorrow ? I don't know that, but we should see at least 3 goals here. My bet for this game would be over 2.5. Braver can combine 1 and over 2.5 and the bravest can write correct result 4:3. :)
