The season in Wales ended in the end of April. Bala Town won silver medals of the competition, taking 57 points in 32 matches with 48-27 goal difference. The away record of the team wasn’t impressive as they won five, drew seven and lost four of matches on the road with 20-17 goal difference. The team started their preparation for the new season in the middle of June, playing two sparring matches (2-2 against Llandudno and 0-3 against Crusaders).
The opponents haven’t met before on football pitches. Swedish league is of higher level and strong representative of this division should have advantage in home match against any Wales side. This why we can expect AIK to take confident win against semi-pro team from Britain.
Prediction for the match: AIK to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
