Brommapojkarna have quietly developed into one of the division's in-form teams after recovering from an inconsistent opening to the season.
Ulf Kristiansson's men sit ninth with 16 points from their first 11 matches, but they are within touching distance of the teams above them and could climb as high as fifth with another positive result.
Their recent improvement has been driven by a four-match unbeaten run that includes victories over two opponents alongside draws against competitive sides, highlighting the progress they have made after winning only once in their opening five league games.
The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by GAIS last time out, ending a run of successive home victories, but they have still lost just once at Grimsta IP this season.
That resilience on home soil will be tested by the league leaders, although Brommapojkarna will believe their current momentum gives them a realistic chance of making life uncomfortable for the visitors.
Sirius continue to set the standard in Sweden after producing an outstanding opening half of the campaign.
Andreas Engelmark's side have collected 29 points from a possible 33, building a healthy advantage at the summit through nine victories and two draws.
After opening the campaign with four consecutive wins, they responded to their first dropped points against Hacken by reeling off another five straight victories before last weekend's extraordinary 4-4 draw with Mjallby.
Robbie Ure was the star of that contest with all four Sirius goals, only for a stoppage-time equaliser to deny his side another victory.
