AIK - IFK Göteborg predictions

AIK are easily the favourites in the match this Monday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.09 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but IFK Göteborg may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

It would be a minor miracle for IFK Göteborg to win at AIK, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.67 price on most online sportsbooks.

Losing is never easy, especially when you have everything working against you beforehand. AIK’s last Allsvenskan game saw them as 2.58 underdogs and seeing them stick to a first-half draw already seemed surprising. They failed to keep up the pace after the break, however, losing the game in the end. Still, it was a narrow loss and that one-goal margin (2:1) is not something to moan too long about.

The away team spent more than half of their previous Allsvenskan match in a deadlock, but eventually narrowly won. That said, such an outcome was relatively predictable – the two teams were relatively close in terms of form, but IFK Göteborg had the advantage of playing at home.

The first step AIK need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The lack of home-field advantage doesn’t seem to take the fight out of IFK Göteborg. They’ve scored more than 5 times in their previous 3 away games and are bound to put a fight as they travel to face AIK.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Monday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.04, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
