Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Malmö FF & AIK face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Svenska Cupen. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Malmö FF and AIK.
Malmö FF form and stats
Malmö participated in Svenska Cupen the last season, where they reached the group stage.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Malmö FF's two home games in the Allsvenskan so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Malmö Stadion. 4W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Svenska Cupen for Malmö FF.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Malmö FF, who played 2-2 against Varberg. That match was also played at this venue (Malmö Stadion). Before that, Malmö played out a Allsvenskan draw 1-1 when visiting Häcken.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Malmö FF matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).
The manager J. Dahl Tomasson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AIK in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Malmö FF at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
AIK form and stats
They also participated in Svenska Cupen last season. This ended in the semi-finals.AIK are yet to lose a point on their Allsvenskan travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games. Total Svenska Cupen statistics for AIK: 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. AIK has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
AIK play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Hammarby. A 1-4 loss hosting Norrköping before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and AIK playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
A quick return to home after this game, as AIK are hosting Malmö FF in the Allsvenskan only three days away.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, AIK has managed 4 goals and let in 0 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Malmö three wins, six draws and AIK one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
