AIK are preparing for a key home fixture against IF Brommapojkarna in Allsvenskan on October 10. The club sits eighth in the table with 33 points and has managed just one win from its last five league outings.
The manager is likely to build on the starting XI from the loss to Halmstad. It featured Kristoffer Nordfeldt in goal and a centre-back pairing of Mads Thychosen, William Olofsson, Halvor Holmboe Matthys and Edvin Edh. Yannick Geiger and Abdihakin Ali operated in midfield, with Johan Hove, Axel Kouame, Liridon Assadi and Lucas Carlstrand forming the attacking line.
Opponent analysis
Brommapojkarna travel to Solna off a 0-1 defeat to IFK Göteborg. They occupy eleventh place and have lost four of their last five league matches. Their most recent starting XI against Göteborg saw Linus Cavallius in goal and a defence of Rasmus Örqvist, Petar Vagić, Andreas Troelsen and Oliver Zandén.
Recent form and context
AIK's recent results paint a picture of inconsistent form. Following a 3-2 win over Hammarby came a draw with Malmö, a heavy 1-4 home defeat to Västerås, a draw with Mjällby and most recently a 1-2 away loss to Halmstad. The team's top scorer this season is Johan Hove with seven goals, a tally that needs to increase to turn the tide.
AIK host IF Brommapojkarna at Strawberry Arena on October 10 at 13:00 UTC.
