Twins from Stockholm enjoy sibling rivalry: Djurgården - AIK

This Swedish football derby is called Tvillingderbyt (The twin derby). It is between the two most successful clubs from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. They are called twins because the two clubs were founded just three weeks apart in 1891. They first played each other in 1899. The rivalry is also found in ice hockey.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

AIK play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artificial turf. Recent stats for AIK when playing on artificial turf are 8 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats from 18 matches. They have scored 18 goals and conceded 10 times in these games.
