In their previous game, the manager Goitom led his AIK to a defeat away at Häcken. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Friends Arena. Nordfeldt had a busy but productive day in the Häcken match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Djurgården.

Mjällby form and stats

The visitors are W7-D1-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Allsvenskan. Momentum is building for Mjällby in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Mjällby failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Varnamo (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 2-3. Walta, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.42. Walta hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 36 successful passes (of 43 total).

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus IFK Göteborg.
