AIK – Halmstad
02.08.2021
AIK takes on Halmstad in Monday’s Swedish Allsvenskan fixture, both teams looking to extend their unbeaten run. There is every reason for AIK to feel disappointed after they left relegation bound Orebro with a 1-1 draw. Their title ambitions are dealt with a blow with the result, and they are found trailing leaders by 8 points. A win here can cut short the deficit to 5 points.
A top 6 finish will be Halmstad’s dream and the newly promoted side doing alright in getting closer to this target. However, they need to start converting draws to wins in the long run. They defeated Ostersunds by a solitary goal last week, first win after 4 consecutive draws. The team is also unbeaten in 7 games with 3 of their defeats this season happening inside the first 4 games of the season.
AIK will be desperate to win here after dropping points against the worst team in the league last week. We believe they will achieve this, but not without breaking some sweat against a highly motivated visitor.
