AIK form and stats

AIK have played 5 Allsvenskan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-0-0 (wins-draws-losses). AIK has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Friends Arena. We remember; it was Norrköping.

The AIK manager Grzelak and his gang return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Hammarby (placed 2nd). A goal frenzy last time out for AIK, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Hammarby. Fun stuff to watch! The attacking player Bahoui won the honour of being "man of the match" for AIK with a rating of 8.84/10. Bahoui scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, AIK won a home game hosting Malmö FF (2-0).

AIK are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 5 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 5, drew 0 and lost 0.

The AIK fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches.

Sirius form and stats

Playing away, Sirius have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Allsvenskan this season.

213 minutes! That's how long the Sirius goalkeeper Tommy Vaiho and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Sirius go into this game after a win, the home game against Elfsborg that ended 2-0. Bjarnason got a match rating of 8.05 in that game, top player of the team. Bjarnason scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 5 of 7 times and had 30 successful passes (of 32 total).

Prior to that result Sirius won their away game at Varberg. The scoreline was 2-0.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Sirius played away with similar odds. This revealed 7 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 6 times.

Sirius are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. In the opposite end, Sirius have conceded 7 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Data for the previous ten meetings featuring these two squads are: nine wins for AIK, one draw and zero wins for Sirius. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
