Kalmar FF

DLLWL

Kalmar will be looking to put their recent disappointments behind them and get back on track when they face AIK on Matchday 18. After suffering a 2-1 aggregate defeat to FC Pyunik in Europa Conference League qualifying, they also experienced a 2-0 loss to IFK Goteborg in the league. The Pride of Smaland have lost their last three matches in all competitions, and their form has been a cause for concern.

Despite their recent struggles, Kalmar will be determined to turn things around and use this upcoming clash as an opportunity to regain their winning ways. Facing AIK on home turf could provide the perfect setting for a positive result. However, they will need to find their sharpness in front of the goal, as they have only managed to win one of their last four league matches.

Unfortunately for Kalmar, midfielder Carl Gustafsson remains unavailable due to injury. His absence may be felt, but it also presents an opportunity for other players to step up and make a difference in the match.

AIK Fotboll

AIK Fotboll’s recent upturn in form has been remarkable, especially considering their slow start to the season. The team managed to secure just one victory in their first 12 Allsvenskan matches, resulting in only seven points out of a possible 36. However, under the guidance of manager Henning Berg, a former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers defender, they have turned things around.

The team’s recent run of form has seen them suffer only one defeat in their last five league games and secure three victories. This includes a crucial last-gasp 1-0 win over Sirius, with midfielder Bilal Hussein scoring an 89th-minute goal to secure all three points.

AIK’s away form has also been impressive, with the team winning their last three away games against Brommapojkarna, Varbergs BoIS, and Sirius. This resurgence has propelled them back into contention and is a testament to the team’s resilience and determination.

In the past, AIK Fotboll has been a force to be reckoned with in the Allsvenskan, achieving four top-two finishes in six years between 2016 and 2021, including clinching the Allsvenskan title in 2018. Despite their initial struggles in the 2023 season, the team’s recent performances indicate that they are back on track and aiming to challenge for top honors once again.

As they continue to build momentum and confidence, AIK will be eager to maintain their recent winning form and continue their climb up the table. With their recent successes and improved performances, they are once again proving to be a formidable force in Swedish football.

Expert Betting Tips

The visitors have shown much strength in their recent clash and that has placed them ahead in this game for winning. I also expect the home side to get a goal at one point or the other in the game but I don’t see them getting a point here.
