Perhaps a welcome break from league football as AIK & Kalmar face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Svenska Cupen. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
AIK form and stats
Last season, AIK's Svenska Cupen journey ended in the semi-finals.AIK have performed here at Skytteholms IP this season with 11 wins from 15 Allsvenskan matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2. This match is a Svenska Cupen match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition. After failing to beat Kalmar here at Skytteholms IP, AIK has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
A good away victory last time out for AIK, who won 1-0 against Orgryte. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Jonkopings Sodra that ended 2-2.

Kalmar form and stats
Kalmar was sent out of Svenska Cupen in the 2nd round last season.There's been little loot from Kalmar's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games in the Allsvenskan. Kalmar only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. When we have look at the Svenska Cupen statistics, we find 3W-0D-0L. This is both home and away. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Kalmar are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Three has not been a lucky number for Kalmar as they have been defeated three times in a row since the AFC Eskilstuna match.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 5-0 against Jonkopings Sodra in their previous game. Before that, Kalmar secured a home win against Orgryte with the score 3-0.
As mentioned above, Kalmar was the only team on the pitch versus Jonkopings Sodra in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
The attacking power of Kalmar when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 15 league matches away. In the opposite end, Kalmar have conceded 24 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six AIK victories, two draws and two Kalmar wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.AIK missing players
