AIK's defensive issues are a recurring theme in this year's Allsvenskan. The team is conceding an average of 1.64 goals per game, a figure that explains their eighth-place standing with 33 points from 22 matches.
Recent form, with just one win in the last five outings, shows clear inconsistency. Keeping a clean sheet has been difficult, with only four achieved all season. A goal difference of minus three further points to problems at both ends of the pitch.
Ahead of the next match at home to IF Brommapojkarna on October 10th, there is plenty to work on. AIK's save percentage of 72 percent indicates the defence is facing too many dangerous situations. The team has won 112 corners but also committed 262 fouls, a sign of pressured play.
Turning the trend around requires greater defensive solidity. AIK's squad and standings show the path forward. The next opportunity comes against a Brommapojkarna side sitting in 11th place.
