AIK form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Friends Arena as AIK have scored 16 goals to get 26 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Allsvenskan are 8-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

AIK lost their last game at Hammarby (placed 4th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that match, a win away at Häcken.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how AIK have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 4 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.

There will be little rest for AIK after this match as they are travelling to Elfsborg for a Allsvenskan game in only four days.

The AIK fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. Defensively AIK have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (6 in 12 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
