11 points separate the teams so far this season, AIK having performed best. Can Sirius strike back?
- Sirius have the most conceded goals in the first half (13) in Allsvenskan
- AIK have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Sirius form and stats
Sirius have played 6 Allsvenskan games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
An away draw last time out for Sirius, facing Varberg BoIS in a game that ended 0-0. Patrick Nwadike, defender, was given a rating of 8.0/10 in that game, top of the team. Nwadike won 8 of 14 duels.
Preceding that match was the home game against Örebro that was lost 1-2.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sirius as they are travelling to their away game against Taby in the Svenska Cupen. That match is three days after this one.
Sirius has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. 6 goals have been conceded.
AIK form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Allsvenskan travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
It's the second away game in a row for AIK, but there's smiles all around after the 4-1 victory versus Djurgården (placed 2nd) in the Allsvenskan last time out. Attacker Nicolás Stefanelli got a player rating of 8.72 in the game. "Man of the match" Stefanelli scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 4 of 4 times.
Before that, AIK secured a home win against Halmstad with the score 1-0.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the AIK manager B. Grzelak as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Rågsved.
AIK are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 6 games (in the league). AIK's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 9 goals from these trips.
