Malmo vs AIK Live Stats & Betting Odds
Malmo Prediction – Can Malmo bounce back at home?
Following a 2-0 defeat away at Hammarby last weekend, Malmo will no doubt be eager to return to winning ways on Monday night when they play host to fellow high-fliers, AIK, at their Swedbank Stadion with a precious three points up for grabs for both teams in this encounter.
Prior to last week’s defeat, Malmo had racked 6 wins on the trot in the Swedish Allsvenskan, scoring 14 goals for and conceding none as the hosts kept an impressive 6 clean sheets on the trot as well, which helped lift them up into European contention.
That defeat at Hammarby became Malmo’s third defeat of the campaign, but on home turf, the hosts have suffered just 1 defeat out of an overall home record of 11-2-1 32/7 which includes winning their last 3 home matches on the trot with victories over Norrkoping, Helsingborg and Goteborg.
Malmo have won 11 of their 14 matches to date at home in this campaign and this includes no fewer than 7 clean sheets, and they’re unbeaten in their last 20 meetings at home against tonight’s opponents, AIK, which is some record.
AIK Prediction – Can AIK go level on points at top of Allsvenskan?
All three points for AIK would see the visitors move level on 62 points with the top two teams of the division, Hammarby and Djurgarden, but first they need to do what only one team has managed to do so far this season, and that is to inflict defeat upon Malmo in their own backyard tonight.
2nd placed Djurgarden are the only side to take all three points away from the Swedbank Stadion so far in this season’s Swedish top flight, but with just 1 defeat out of their last 8 matches overall, which includes 6 wins, AIK will also be confident that they can get a result at Malmo this evening.
Their one defeat during this sequence was a 2-1 loss at Hammarby while their overall record on the road stands at an impressive looking 8-3-3 26/15 with 1 defeat out of their last 11 matches on their travels.
Early back-to-back defeats at Orebro and Goteborg was merely a temporary setback for AIK who subsequently went on a solid run of form on the road, winning 7 of their next 8 matches away from their Friends Arena.
