AIK vs Malmo Prediction and Betting Tips
AIK and Malmo go head-to-head at Friends Arena in round 16 of the Swedish Allsvenskan on Sunday (July 23).
Henning Berg’s men are winless in five home games and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run. AIK returned to winning ways last Monday by edging out ten-man Varbergs BoIS 2-1 at the Paskbergsvallen. This followed a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Hacken on July 8, which snapped their two-game winning streak.
With 13 points from 15 games, the Ganget are 14th in the Allsvenskan, four points off 15th-placed Goteborg in the automatic relegation places.
Malmo, meanwhile, failed to find their feet in a 2-0 defeat against Djurgarden at Tele2 Arena on Monday. Henrik Rydstrom’s men have lost all but one of their last four away games, with a 3-0 win over Sirius on July 1 being the exception.
Despite their drop-off in form, Malmo are third in the league table with 34 points from 15 games. They will move into first place with all three points this weekend.
