On Friday evening, Sundsvall host AIK at the NP3 Arena, as the visitors look to move to the top of the Allsvenskan.
The home side has made a poor start to their Allsvenskan campaign and are currently in the relegation play-off spot in the Swedish top-flight. They are currently a point from safety and two points clear of the automatic relegation zone.
A 2-0 defeat at Norrkoping last time out means that Sundsvall have suffered four straight league defeats. The home sides recent struggles have not been helped by their poor recent attacking displays, as they have failed to score in three of their last four league outings.
The home sides recent record on home soil in the Allsvenskan has been poor, as they have lost four of their last six home matches in the Swedish top-flight. Their recent home league matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last four outings.
AIK are third-place in the Swedish top-flight, a point off the top of the table. A 2-0 win over Falkenberg last time out in the league means that the visitors have recorded four straight wins in the Allsvenskan.
A key to their recent good league form has been the visitors attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in all four of those aforementioned victories.
AIK have an inconsistent recent away record in the Allsvenskan, winning two, losing two and drawing one of their last five league outings. However, they have won their last two league games on their travels.
AIK’s recent away games in Allsvenskan have been relatively high-scoring, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches on their travels in the Swedish top-flight.
Forebet predicts that AIK will move to the top of the table by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
