The visiting Elfsborg side should be favourites in this visit to AIK, as the away team holds a 8 point advantage from their twelve league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for AIK and Elfsborg.
Elfsborg play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Elfsborg when playing on grass are 10 wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats from 24 matches. They have scored 35 goals and conceded 41 times in these games.
AIK form and stats
AIK have collected 5 points from their Allsvenskan home games so far after 1-2-2.
Stress levels are on the rise for AIK's attacking players as they have now played 285 minutes without scoring in a league game. P. Abraham was their last goal scorer.
AIK travelled for their previous game, a trip to Kalmar that ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, AIK lost 0-1 at home to Djurgården.
This is expected to be a close game, with AIK perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with AIK as a small favourite), we find four games. AIK has won two of these, drawn one and lost one.
AIK are traveling soon after this match as the Allsvenskan match at Mjällby awaits in three days.
The AIK fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the AIK defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Elfsborg form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Allsvenskan travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
There were no winners in Elfsborg's previous match, a Allsvenskan home game that ended 3-3 vs Sirius (placed 6th). Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs Varberg BoIS.
A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Sirius. Elfsborg were trailing 1-3 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 3-3, with Rasmus Alm scoring the equalizer. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Elfsborg, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
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 nine relevant matches. Results were three Elfsborg wins, one draw and five defeats.
Elfsborg has another fixture away, a Allsvenskan game, against Östersunds FK in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The travelling fans enjoy Elfsborg's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 6 league matches away. Elfsborg have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
