Norrkoping preview: Thrashed in last game
Norrkoping suffered a heavy defeat in their last league game when they made the trip to Sirius.
The home side scored three times in the opening 23 minutes and led 3-0 at the interval. Sirius added a fourth goal before Ture Sandberg pulled a goal back for Norrkoping.
However, Sirius had the last laugh, scoring the game's sixth and final goal to wrap up a 5-1 victory. That result leaves Norrkoping sitting third from bottom of the Allsvenskan after 12 games, three points clear of last-placed Vasteras.
Predicted lineup: Jansson (GK), Ssewankambo, Eid, Eriksson, Salihović, Kalley, Traustason, Hammershøy-Mistrati, Ceesay, Nyman & Prica

Djurgarden preview: Looking for fourth straight win on the road
Djurgarden would have been expecting a tough test at home to Hammarby last time out but losing the game 3-0 came as a big surprise.
Hammarby's top goalscorer Nahir Besara scored twice in the first half, converting a penalty to open the scoring. The visitors added a third goal in the 69th minute, ending any faint hopes of a Djurgarden comeback.
That defeat leaves Djurgarden sitting seven points behind Malmo but with a game in hand over the league leaders.

Player to watch – Deniz Hummet
Djurgarden's Turkish striker is enjoying life back in Sweden after a brief spell back in his homeland.
Hummet has scored six goals in 12 Allsvenskan appearances this season following his move from Kalmar where he scored nine times in 30 league games.
Will Malmo's top goalscorer find the back of the net again this weekend?
We're backing Hummet to impress against a struggling Norrkoping side on Monday night and wouldn't be surprised to see the 27-year-old add to his goals tally.
