Mjallby AIF vs. AIK Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Mjallby AIF and AIK, taking place on Saturday, 13 April 2024, at Strandvallen in Hällevik.
Mjallby AIF, Recent Form
In their last match Mjallby AIF enforced their superiority over IFK Norrkoping with a 3-0 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 22 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target, in contrast to IFK Norrkoping, who had 7 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Anders Torstensson will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Strandvallen, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
AIK, Recent Form
A 2-2 draw and a point gained against IF Brommapojkarna in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for AIK last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 53% share of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to IF Brommapojkarna, who managed 21 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 7 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for AIK, Ioannis Pittas will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Mjallby AIF vs. AIK Head to head
AIK recorded a 1-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
On each of the last 2 outings between Mjallby and Gnaget in the league, Mjallby have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. In their past 5 meetings, AIK's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Mjallby will have to take their chances when they come.
In the league, Mjallby has not won any of the last 3 times they have welcomed AIK to Strandvallen.
