We switch over to Sweden next and a look ahead to the Allsvenskan action this Saturday with our next preview featuring a clash between Kalmar and AIK as the betting tips continue at the Guldfågeln Arena.
Kalmar Prediction – Can Kalmar halt winless streak?
Kalmar occupy a lowly 12th place in the Swedish top flight and find themselves just 2 points above GIF Sundsvall and the relegation play-off spot.
Their current league position certainly hasn’t been helped by their recent sequence of matches without a win.
A 5-match run without a win for the hosts, Kalmar, includes draws with Elfsborg and Falkenberg in 1-1 and 0-0 draws, but also includes 3 defeats.
Losses to Hacken, Malmo and Djurgarden in 1-0, 1-0 and 2-0 defeats have prevented Kalmar from lifting themselves away from the relegation zone.
Switching to results on home turf at their Guldfågeln Arena, and these have been dominated by the draw.
A home record of 1-4-1 6/7 includes 4 stalemates but the hosts are unbeaten in their last 5 matches overall on home soil.
Prior to this recent sequence though, Kalmar had posted just 2 wins at home from their previous 12 matches at their Guldfågeln Arena.
Recent history has also been against Kalmar when AIK are the opponents as AIK have won 4 of the last 6 meetings.
AIK Prediction – Can AIK move into 2nd place?
AIK sit in 3rd spot in the Swedish top flight but are just 2 points behind 2nd placed Djurgarden ahead of this weekend’s action in the Allsvenskan.
The visitors have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 8 matches overall in the Swedish top flight in recent weeks which has helped them to their lofty position.
This defeat came in the shape of a 2-0 loss at home to Norrkoping, but overall form has been solid for AIK for some time now.
They’ve lost just 3 of their last 23 matches overall in the Allsvenskan and it’s this sort of form which has placed AIK in one of the possible European spots.
After a tentative start to the season away from home, AIK have since made a recovery on their travels which has been a welcome boost.
The visitors started with 2 draws and 2 defeats on the road, but they’ve since registered back-to-back wins at Djurgarden and Helsingborg.
In addition, AIK picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at GIF Sundsvall, so they’ll be confident that they can pick up something from this trip too.
Key-Facts – Kalmar v AIK
- Kalmar are without a win from their last 5 matches overall in the Allsvenskan
- AIK have lost just 1 of their last 8 matches overall in the Allsvenskan
