Allsvenskan heavyweights do battle
AIK sit third in the table with 26 points from 13 matches, while IFK Goteborg are sixth with 19 from 12. Both teams have made solid starts to the season and are firmly in the European hunt, but this is a big game for momentum.
AIK are in poor recent form, but they have an unblemished home record in the league, averaging 1.60 goals scored per game at home. The AIK vs IFK Goteborg preview highlights IFK Goteborg as a real test for them on Sunday, but the visitors have won their previous two away games and can bring the heat.
Our first AIK vs IFK Goteborg prediction is influenced by previous encounters, with AIK coming out on top in the last two meetings in the Swedish Allsvenskan, winning 2-1 away from home just eight months ago, but this could be a tough test for Mikkjal Thomassen’s side. The boss was appointed on July 17th, 2024 and must steady the ship after a rocky spell.
Goteborg have the momentum
Stefan Billborn took over IFK Goteborg on June 25, 2024, and has brought an attacking edge to the side which is starting to show. The visitors have scored 10 goals in their previous 6 away games, but they also have 2 defeats to show for their efforts, suggesting the AIK vs IFK Goteborg prediction could favor a competitive fixture in which AIK can get a result.
There will be a clear contrast in styles in this game, with AIK preferring to keep things tight and compact, controlling the tempo and looking for space to break in transition and from set-pieces. Goteborg will press hard, look to get their attacking players in behind and play with real tempo.
AIK talisman Johan Hove is the team’s top-scorer in the 2025 season with 5 goals from 13 appearances, but has 2 of the team’s last 2 goals. Goteborg’s livewire is Tobias Heintz, who has 6 assists from 12 league appearances in 2025. Max Fenger is the main scoring threat, netting 6 from 12.
