- Team form: AIK have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 games, so they arrive on the back of a 3-game winning streak.
- Team form: Hammarby have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5, so they have been a little stop-and-start in their rhythm.
- Form detail: AIK's home form in the Allsvenskan 2026 is 3 wins and 4 defeats from 7 and Hammarby's away form in the same competition is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from 8.
AIK have a spring in their step
AIK are enjoying their best period of the campaign with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 5 matches. Their latest 3 results were a 4-3 away win over Orgryte IS, a 3-1 derby away win over Djurgardens IF and a 3-0 cup stroll at Pitea IF.
Gnaget's home record of 3 wins and 4 defeats from 7 games is not ideal, but they are in a great spell at the moment and are likely to be more positive than normal in this game.
Hammarby have had a mixed recent record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5, so they are not in the same momentum as AIK. Their latest three results were a 3-0 home win over BK Häcken, a 1-0 home loss to Raków Częstochowa in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 and a 4-0 away win at Kalmar FF. Bajen have won 3 and drawn 2 of their 8 Allsvenskan 2026 away matches, which indicates they are pretty good on the road, but not dominant.
A true derby clash with Hammarby favourites
The current odds for this game are a bit odd as Hammarby are the favorites at 1.65 with AIK at 4.47 and the draw 4.1. Hammarby have won 1 of the last 3 meetings (the other being a draw) and failed to win either of the last 2, which suggests this will be a close derby clash rather than a clear away win.
Hammarby’s Pauloz Abraham is in great form
- Pauloz Abraham is Hammarby's main scoring force in the Allsvenskan 2026 with 10 goals from 17 games and he has scored 3 in the last 5 matches.
- Victor Lind has been a brilliant provider for Hammarby in their recent run, having assisted 3 goals in the last 5 games.
- For AIK, Johan Hove has been their spark in the league with 5 goals from 15 appearances, but Linus Carlstrand has popped up with 4 in the last 5.
Back the draw or the away team
Match assessment:
This is not the easiest game to call as AIK are in better form and there is the derby factor to consider as they beat Hammarby in the away match 3 months ago.
However, the head-to-head record is 1 win apiece and 1 draw in the last 3 meetings and the difference in style of play these teams employ could mean Hammarby must have a chance to get something here.
Tactical battle:
José Riveiro has AIK playing a structured 4-2-3-1 system and they are much more patient in their build-up play with much sharper transitions between defense and attack.
Henrik Rydström's men are much more of a control-first side with a lot of compactness and discipline at the base of their system with selective pressing to try to win the ball higher up.
If they can get their 4-2-3-1 to work, Bajen will try to overload the wings and play through their wing-backs, which should see them get on the board a few times against an AIK side that have conceded 12 goals in 7 home games in the Allsvenskan 2026, an average of 1.71.
Betting angle:
The sensible angle here seems to be to take Hammarby or draw in the double chance market and both teams to score, as the value on the double chance bet is a little better and both sides should be looking to score.
