Perhaps a welcome break from league football as AIK & Örebro face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Svenska Cupen. All the pre-match information is available here!
It should be mentioned that Örebro play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Örebro on grass are 9 victories, 4 draws and 13 defeats from 26 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 30-34. You can compare this with overall results below.
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 group stage.AIK have been very solid at home in the Allsvenskan so far, with 41 points collected from 15 matches (13-2-0). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table.
A decent goal production from AIK in their home games so far, with 29 goals from 15 league matches. From these home matches, AIK have conceded only 8 goals.
Örebro form and stats
Örebro was sent out of Svenska Cupen in the group stage last season.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Örebro so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-11 (win-draw-lose).
With the home side stated as having a victory chance of about 80% by the bookmakers, any beneficial result for the away team would be an eye-opener. Checking previous games with similar odds and Örebro playing away, we found six results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, zero draws and six defeats. The outsiders lost four of these fixtures by at least two goals.
The attacking power of Örebro when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 15 league matches away. The Örebro manager Cedergren has some worries about the defense as 34 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): AIK five wins, three draws and Örebro two victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight games had two or less.AIK missing players
