Kalmar FF – AIK Stockholm

Kalmar FF host AIK Stockholm in what promises to be a crucial clash in the latter stages of the Allsvenskan, with the home side sitting 13th on 19 points after five wins, four draws and twelve defeats, and a goal difference of minus ten. AIK, perched in seventh place with 32 points from nine victories, five draws and six losses, enter the match with a much tighter defensive record, having conceded only 31 goals compared with Kalmar’s 31 against 21 scored. The gap of 13 points between the two clubs underlines the uphill battle Kalmar faces if they hope to climb out of the relegation zone, while AIK will look to close the gap to the top‑four. Historically the two have met frequently in the league, and AIK’s superior recent form suggests they will enter the game as the clear favorites.
