Halmstads vs AIK Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Swedish Allsvenskan on Sunday, 2 April 2023.
AIK secured a fifth-place finish the last season in the Allsvenskan, and narrowly missed out on a ticket to one of the European competitions.
Meanwhile, Halmstads were part of the second division the last season, and it is quite a doubt if they would be able to cope with the level of intensity in the top flight.
AIK managed to win six of the past seven overall h2h clashes, and they scored three or more goals in two of the last four meetings. They also have a 100% winning record at this venue in the past ten years, barring a single game.
AIK are an experienced team of the Allsvenskan, and even delivered a great campaign the last season. They narrowly missed an entry into Europe, as they finished fifth in the table.
They have a phenomenal h2h record against this rival over the years, and particularly so at this venue.
Most of all, counterparts Halmstads are a team that were promoted to the top flight only at the end of the last season.
It certainly looks like hosts AIK are about to start their new campaign with a win.
AIK scored three or more goals in two of the last four overall h2h clashes, and they scored three or more goals in two of their last three overall games. And considering the level of inexperience of Halmstads, a high-scoring affair is expected.
In spite of all their heroics, AIK managed to keep a single clean sheet in h2h clashes in the past six years. The desperate Halmstads are at home, and can be counted upon to find the back of the net at least once this Sunday.
Not only are AIK one of the veterans of the Swedish top flight, but they also nearly secured a podium finish the last time around.
On top of that, they also have a terrific h2h record against this rival over the years. In fact, they have a 100% winning record at this venue in h2h meetings in the past ten years, barring a single fixture.
On the other hand, Halmstads were part of the second division, and their inexperience is quite a disadvantage.
Likely, a win is expected for AIK, and the odds are placed at 2.00.
However, seldom have they kept clean sheets in h2h meetings over the years, and they even lost the latest h2h encounter 1-0. They also struggled quite a lot the last season with their defense on the road.
As such, the Both Teams to Score wager looks appealing at 1.80 odd.
