An important duel in the bottom section of the Allsvenskan, with both AIK and Östersunds FK experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 15th place.

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 Östersunds FK.

6 - 8 - 6 with 24-27. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Östersunds FK when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Östersunds FK play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

AIK form and stats

With 1 Allsvenskan win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, AIK are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for AIK, their manager B. Grzelak and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The fans are hoping that AIK will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Allsvenskan game against Mjällby (placed 8th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Elfsborg (1-2).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from AIK's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won four matches, drawn one and lost one.

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

AIK are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the AIK defense is not exactly impregnable. 10 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Östersunds FK form and stats

The visitors are W2-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Allsvenskan. It's three draws from Östersunds's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Östersunds FK might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Elfsborg proved too strong as Östersunds FK slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Jämtkraft Arena. Before that, Östersunds travelled to IFK Göteborg and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Östersunds when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning one game.

A new game in only four days for Östersunds, the Allsvenskan home match versus Kalmar. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Östersunds FK as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. Östersunds are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 6 times in 7 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
