Halmstad vs AIK Prediction & Match Preview

Halmstad vs AIK Prediction

In a rather disappointing turn in form, AIK have been left wondering what has gone wrong with their team after just one win in five matches. After a bright start to the season, going unbeaten in their first five matches, they have struggled to find wins, let alone secure draws in their matches. Since then, they have won just two of eight league matches and 10 matches across all competitions. 

With just 13 games played so far, and 17 points, they can still salvage their season but this upcoming trip to Halmstad presents a difficult challenge for them. On the road this season, AIK have not won a single game, securing just 2 points and shipping 20 goals. They have picked just one point from five recent away trips, and currently have the worst away record in the league this season. 

The hosts have only been fairly better than AIK in overall standing this season, with just one point separating both teams on the Allsveskan log. Halmstad are the only team yet to play a draw so far this season. They have a very decent record at home losing two of their last five matches and notching 15 points from 7 games. They come into this fixture on the back of a 5-1 drubbing away at Malmo FF and will be really keen to make up for the goals they shipped in, in that match.

Fixtures between both teams have usually been really tight going by their recent head-to-head records. Both teams have won two games apiece in the last five matches between them, but stretching that record a little further shows that AIK holds a clear advantage with 6 wins and one draw from 10 meetings. Going by this head-to-head record, it is understandable why the odds are firmly on the visitors’ side to claim a win in this tie. With just one point separating them, we feel this fixture could just be that break that AIK needs to get back on track, hence we are backing them to win.

Punters can also consider backing both teams to score in this tie since three of their last five meetings have seen both teams score, and also conceding how porous both teams are defensively. Over 2.5 goals is also a good option to consider, seeing that they have both been involved in at least five games with over 2.5 goals this season.
