- Away form: Eskilstuna United (W) have drawn their only away game to date in Damallsvenskan 2026, 0-0 vs Djurgaarden.

An engaging tactical battle in the Damallsvenskan
AIK (W) are a team with a clear identity this season in the Swedish top-flight. Lukas Syberyjski's appointment in January 2025 has seen his side play an attack-first game plan with a mobile front three and a willingness to take risks. As a result, AIK are always looking to press forward as the game wears on.
That's resulted in a mixed bag of a season so far, with AIK (W) sitting in 4th position in the 2026 edition of the Damallsvenskan with 18 points from ten games. That's just one point more than their opponents on Wednesday, Eskilstuna United (W), who occupy 5th.
Eskilstuna United (W) are tough to beat
Playing style
Rickard Johansson's side are another team with a defined playing style. The Eskilstuna boss has honed a compact, press-resistant unit which is as hard as hell to get at, even the biggest of the possession-based sides in the league. They build up in a structured way and allow their players freedom to play, but only within the framework of the game plan.
Tactical outlook
It should be a fascinating game, in which AIK's front foot approach will test Eskilstuna's defensive structure and patience, while the visitors will look to press into the spaces behind AIK's forward line when they have the ball. Eskilstuna have won two, drawn one and lost one of their four away games in 2026, averaging just 0.75 goals scored and conceded on their travels.
AIK can edge out Eskilstuna
Given Eskilstuna United (W) are returning to the top flight, there is an added bit of extra motivation to their game, and they'll look to make life tough for AIK, who are favourites at 1.75. The visitors are 4.03 for the win here, while the draw is 3.7.
However, AIK are undefeated at Skytteholms IP this season, winning four and drawing one of their five home outings, and Eskilstuna's structured approach may be able to keep this game close, but AIK's superior firepower should eventually tell, so the 'AIK to win and over 2.5 goals' market could offer some value.
Go for goals at Skytteholms IP
Both sides have their top scorers performing well this term.
- Nova Selin is in a rich purple patch for AIK (W) with three goals in her last five.
- Eskilstuna's top scorer Sheila van den Bulk has two to her name in ten Damallsvenskan 2026 appearances.
- However, AIK's Olivia Garcia has seven goals in the same number of games, which is why she's the pick to get on the scoreboard any time on Wednesday.
