Halmstads vs AIK Free Betting Tips and Predictions

The Allsvenskan match Halmstads – AIK sees the newly promoted hosts facing one of the main title-favourites AIK. Below we have tried to give you our best free betting tips.

AIK to Win

Halmstads return to the top flight as the second-best team in the lower division last season was a great achievement. However, now the opponents will be much tougher and Halmstads will begin their season with a match against one of the top 3 title favourites AIK.

Naturally, with our first Halmstads vs AIK prediction, we back the visitors to win as they are among the top 3 favourites for a reason. Stuffed with talented players AIK should dominate easily in this matchup. This has been the case historically for sure with AIK winning 6 of the last 7 H2Hs.

Clean Sheet AIK

Our second Halmstads vs AIK prediction is for the visitors to keep a clean sheet. They face a team that doesn’t have a player to have scored more than 11 goals in 2022 in their ranks so AIK’s defenders would feel confident. AIK kept clean sheets in 4 of their 6 pre-season games, those included 4 official Swedish Cup matches. They also kept clean sheets on 2 of their last 3 visits to Halmstad.

Under 2.5 Goals

Our final Halmstads vs AIK prediction is for the game to have fewer than 3 total goals. AIK struggled to score enough goals on the road last season and with this being a season-opener both sides are not expected to be in optimum condition.

The last 5 H2H clashes between the sides saw only 1 game going over 2.5 goals. Also, AIK were involved only once in the last 5 years in a season-opener with more than 2 goals.

Halmstads vs AIK Lineups and Other News

Halmstads

Halmstads come into the new season with most of the players that helped for the promotion staying in the squad. The poor financial situation has prevented the team to strengthen their ranks much though. Only a handful from the current squad have serious top-flight experience and this is predicted to be an issue going forward.

Last season’s top scorer Vasic (11 goals) has recovered from illness and is expected to start. The only player likely to miss injured is the projected starting left-back Jelassi.

AIK

AIK had a poor end to last season and this was the main reason why they faded late on. Up until round 24, they were still in touch with the eventual champions. AIK did some solid business in the winter and added depth in every area of the pitch.

Midfielders Andersson and Keita + striker Elbouzedi are expected to miss the match injured or sick. Neither particularly important squad member though and all the big guns are fit and available. Thill, Tihi and Otieno are tipped to have great seasons and they all should start.
