There’s also action from the Swedish top flight on Sunday afternoon starting with a clash between 3rd placed AIK and league leaders, Malmo, as the betting tips continue at the Friends Arena in Solna.
AIK Prediction- Can AIK reduce deficit on Malmo?
AIK sit in 3rd place in the Swedish Allsvenskan but trail their Sunday afternoon’s visitors, Malmo, by a 6-point margin, so they’ll be keen to reduce the deficit with a win here.
The hosts will be especially keen to return to winning ways here as they were handed a 2-0 defeat at home by Norrkoping last time out in the Allsvenskan.
This will be AIK’s third home match on the trot and they’ll be eager to make the most of their home advantage at their Friends Arena.
Defeat last time out to Norrkoping has been AIK’s only defeat out of their last 7 matches overall in the Swedish top flight in recent weeks.
An overall home record which stands at 5-1-1 9/4 includes wins against Sirius, Hacken, AFC Eskilstuna, Falkenberg and Hammarby respectively.
The bigger picture shows an impressive sequence of results for AIK at their Friends Arena as the hosts have lost just 1 out of their last 28 matches which is some record.
Malmo Prediction – Can Brann spoil Molde’s 100% record?
Malmo will head into their Sunday afternoon clash away to AIK in confident mood having secured 4 league wins on the trot in the Allsvenskan.
The visitors have racked up wins against Kalmar, AFC Eskilstuna, GIF Sundsvall and Helsingborg in recent times and have scored 9 goals in the process.
However, it should be noted that 3 of these 4 wins were recorded on home turf at their Swedbank Stadion where they’ve won 6 of their 7 home matches to date.
They have also put together a solid looking sequence of results away from home too with a 5-match unbeaten run on the road looking ominous.
An away record of 3-2-1 6/5 may give AIK a glimmer of hope though as Malmo’s only wins on the road to date have been against teams in the lower reaches of the division.
A 3-1 defeat at third from bottom outfit, GIF Sundsvall, along with being held to draws at Norrkoping and Goteborg will give AIK hope here.

- AIK have lost just 1 of their last 28 matches at home in the Allsvenskan
