IFK Gothenburg vs. AIK Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between IFK Göteborg and AIK, taking place on Monday, 24 October 2022, at Gamla Ullevi in Göteborg.
IFK Gothenburg, Recent Form
There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the IFK Göteborg players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Degerfors IF. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Degerfors IF who had 23 attempts and 9 on target.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 16 times in that period. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Mikael Stahre will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 12 out of 13 home games.
Having clocked up 5 defeats from their previous 6 matches, recent form is something they will certainly be looking to change.
Gustaf Norlin will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for IFK Göteborg.
AIK, Recent Form
The AIK players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against BK Häcken recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They achieved 46% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against BK Häcken's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 11 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 7 goals and some valuable points in the process. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Having conceded at least 1 goal in 12 out of 13 away games this season, they are not making it easy for themselves to pick up valuable points on their travels.
It's been a mixed run of form for AIK recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, John Guidetti has scored in each of AIK's last league game.
IFK Gothenburg vs. AIK Head to head
It was not a positive ending for IFK Göteborg last time they met AIK in the league, with the game ending in a 1-0 defeat.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Gamla Ullevi, Gnaget have been unable to break through the Göteborg defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, AIK have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Göteborg.
In the league, Göteborg has a good track record when they host AIK, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
AIK player Nabil Bahoui will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Göteborg, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
