GAIS and Norrkoping will battle for three points in a Swedish Allsvenskan matchday 17 fixture on Saturday. The hosts will be looking to build on the 1-0 away victory they registered over AIK last week.
Gustav Lundgren's third-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Norrkoping, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home victory over Kalmar. Christoffer Nyman had an eventful game that saw him break the deadlock in the 17th minute before completing his brace in the 66th minute. The 31-year-old missed his chance at a hat-trick when he missed a 77th-minute penalty.
The victory left the WhiteBlue in 14th spot in the table, having garnered 17 points from 16 games. GAIS are fifth with 28 points to show for their efforts in 16 games.
