AIK take on the visitors Hacken in the round 14 match of Swedish Allsvenskan. The match will be played on Saturday, June 8th at Friends Arena (Solna).
AIK are 12-time national champion. However, their most recent title was won back in 2018. Since then, their notable achievement was a 2nd place finish in the Allsvenskan two seasons ago. However, in 2022, the capital club slipped to the 5th position. Håkan Berg's (the same Norwegian defender from the peak era of Manchester United) team has struggled to reclaim their lost ground. To put it mildly, they only managed a 2-0 victory against Hammarby until the end of June in the first 12 matches. They accumulated only 7 points during that period, clearly raising concerns about their survival. Perhaps this helped them regroup, as they began the new calendar month with a long-awaited victory. On July 1st, they defeated the division newcomer Brommapojkarna with a score of 2-0. This enabled them to climb to at least the 14th place, which is no longer the direct relegation zone but a position that leads to playoff matches to secure survival.

Hacken are also led by a Norwegian, Högmo. He is less known as a player, although he did have a stint with his national team at one point. However, he has more experience as a coach, although mostly in his homeland, including with the national team. He had a brief stint in Sweden in 2013 with Djurgarden. However, after arriving in Gothenburg two seasons ago, the coach led the team to a historic 1st championship title in 2022. Hacken was clearly stronger than all the other teams, finishing 7 points ahead of the closest pursuer. The new season has already brought victory in the Swedish Cup, marking their 3rd such success in history. However, they couldn't maintain their position at the highest level in the Allsvenskan, although their overall results are quite good: 9 wins and 29 points in 14 matches. Following a 2-2 draw against Norrköping, Hacken currently occupies the 3rd position, trailing the current leaders Malmö by 5 points.
Hacken has won 5 out of the last 6 matches against AIK, with one match ending in a draw. This includes maximum points in both matches of the previous season. Despite their victory in the previous round, experts still have doubts about the hosts. Let's agree with them and bet on Hacken to win this match as the away team.
Prediction for the match: Hacken to win.
