GAIS have won three of the last five H2H matches against their next opponent. On the other hand, AIK won only once in the same period, with one draw. In the cup tie mentioned earlier, GAIS triumphed 3-2. Interestingly, that was the first high-scoring H2H game after seven consecutive meetings with two or fewer goals.
AIK team overview
AIK have another solid season. After the seventh position in 2025, their goal is to stay in mid-table in the current campaign, too. After 12 rounds, AIK are in the desired area, but with only two points behind third-placed Hacken. If AIK find the right form, they could even compete for a place in the Conference League. The team from Solna struggled before the World Cup break, but they returned with two wins in the last two matches. In the most recent outing, AIK won 2-1 on the road against Mjallby. The hosts ended the game with an xG of 2.71, while the guests had only 1.27, but AIK still found a way to another valuable victory.
A few days ago, AIK signed defender Herve Matthys from the Polish Motor Lublin. The experienced center-back, who appeared in 26 Ekstraklasa games last season, could be a valuable addition for Jose Riveriro's team. On the other hand, AIK left defensive midfielder Aron Csongvai for St. Etienne.
AIK have some problems with missing players. They will be without Ibrahim Cisse, Martin Ellingsen, and Andreas Redkin on Saturday against GAIS.

GAIS team overview
After a surprising third position last season, GAIS have another excellent season. They are currently fifth in Allsvenskan, and it would not be shocking if they secure another Conference League appearance. GAIS played well in the last few months with only one defeat in the last ten matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home against Elfsborg. The hosts didn't impress, and the guests surely deserved more, but GAIS's better efficiency was enough for all three points.
GAIS are active in the summer transfer window, too. Since the last Allsvenskan round, they signed left winger Simon Jorgensen from Skala (Faroe Islands) and striker Nikola Vasic from Hammarby. Both players will add depth to the team. On the other hand, GAIS left Shalom Ekong, who went on loan to Sundsvall.
Oskar Agren received his third yellow card of the season last week and will not play on Saturday in Solna. GAIS will also be without the injured Blessing Asumang, Mohamed Bawa, Dennis Collander, Kevin Holmen, and Gustav Lundgren.
