AIK
Allsvenskan
These two famous Swedish clubs have met eight times in the past four years. History shows that AIK have the upper hand, having won five of those fixtures. Djurgården managed only one win, while two games ended in a draw. An average of 1.87 goals per game were scored, demonstrating how close most of the encounters were.
AIK team overview
The hosts will bring a four-match unbeaten run into Sunday's game. They won three of those fixtures and kept three clean sheets.
However, head coach Mikkjal Thomassen will be concerned that the only game his side didn’t win during that period was a league match at home.
In terms of home form, AIK have been quite inconsistent at the Friends Arena, winning just two of their last five league fixtures.
Martin Ellingsen has been out since March with a muscle injury, and Sunday’s game comes too soon for him. The hosts' injury list also includes Eskil Edih, who has missed the last 24 matches.

Djurgaarden team overview
Djurgården have also been difficult to beat lately, avoiding defeat in five of their last six matches. The Iron Stoves won three of those matches, but will be concerned that they didn’t keep a single clean sheet in any of those fixtures.
Regarding their away form, Jani Honkavaara and co have experienced inconsistency in recent weeks. The Iron Stoves secured just two wins in their last five away games, but they will be encouraged by their 6-1 victory over Hacken which was their recent game on the road.
In terms of injuries, the visitors will be without Malkolm Nilsson Säfqvist and Nino Zugelj, who are dealing with elbow and muscle problems respectively.

Prediction
With the hosts unbeaten in their last five home games across all competitions, and Djurgaarden unbeaten in their last three matches, Sunday’s game is likely to be a close one. AIK kept a clean sheet in each of their last five home matches, and didn’t concede a goal in three of their last four home games against Djurgaarden. As none of the last six meetings between the two sides saw more than two goals scored, I am predicting a 1-0 home win.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Seven of the last eight meetings between AIK and Djurgaarden ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Three of the last four away games of Djurgaarden produced just one goal.
- Four of the last eight league home games of AIK ended with under 2.5 goals.
Main prediction AIK - Djurgarden
Under 2.5 goals
