Struggling AIK will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Sirius in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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 Sirius.
AIK form and stats
Three Allsvenskan home games done for AIK, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
In their previous game, the manager R. Norling led his AIK to a defeat in the Allsvenskan match away at Helsingborg. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Friends Arena. In the match before that, AIK hosted Falkenberg and drew the game 1-1.
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 Varberg BoIS awaits in four days.
The AIK fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for AIK with 7 goals conceded in these matches.
Sirius form and stats
Sirius are happy with their away performances in the Allsvenskan so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.
Sirius are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Hammarby (placed 12th). A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Örebro.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Sirius in our archives, and the results are: one win for Sirius, one draw and one defeat.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Norrköping in just four days.
The visiting Sirius have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. The Sirius defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last seven meetings): AIK won seven games, zero matches ended with a draw and Sirius has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / fourTop Goalscorers
