It's still early in the Allsvenskan season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the AIK - Elfsborg preview!
- AIK have the most points (6) at home in Allsvenskan
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Elfsborg have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-7-8 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches.
AIK form and stats
As mentioned below, AIK are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Allsvenskan games.
The AIK supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Hammarby in Allsvenskan and win 2-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting IFK Göteborg (0-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how AIK have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won four, drawn one and lost two.
Early season league goal statistics from AIK's 2 home games: 4 goals, 0 conceded.
Elfsborg form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Allsvenskan, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats from 15 matches.
Marokhy Ndione scored in Elfsborg's previous match, the home game against Mjallby that ended 1-0. Preceding that game was the away victory against Varberg with the score of 3-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Elfsborg playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were three Elfsborg wins, one draw and three defeats.
It's early days yet, but Elfsborg has scored 3 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
