Elfsborg to consolidate their place in the European spots at AIK

AIK Fotboll vs IF Elfsborg - 06/08/2020

3257

On Thursday evening, AIK Fotboll host Elfsborg at the Friends Arena in the Allsvenskan, as the visitors look to consolidate their position in the league’s European spots.

AIK have made a poor start to their league campaign, picking up just 13 points from their opening 12 games of the season.

The poor recent run of results means that the home team are just three points above the Allsvenskan relegation zone and two above the relegation play-off spot.

A goalless draw at Kalmar last time out means that AIK has now failed to win in their previous four matches in the Swedish top-flight. The match also saw AIK fail to score for a third straight league game.

Rikard Norling’s team have struggled for home wins of late in the Swedish top-flight, winning just once in their previous five league matches at the Friend’s Arena. A record of just one home clean sheet in five outings on home soil this season may have contributed to the poor recent results.
