IFK Norrköping Close to Promotion After Rivals Draw, Could Seal Return on Tuesday

Classic IFK Norrköping are close to returning to Sweden’s top men’s football league. After a 1-1 draw between promotion rivals Östersund and Varberg, “Beijing” can secure promotion at home on Tuesday.

The stay in the Super League looks set to last just one year for IFK Norrköping, who top the table with 17 wins in 25 matches. Saturday’s draw between third-placed Varberg and fourth-placed Östersund means IFK Norrköping have a ten-point lead over Varberg, who occupy the play-off place. If Norrköping beat second-placed GIF Sundsvall at home on Tuesday, “Beijing” will have an unassailable 13-point lead.
