AIK to Win
AIK have won three of their last four competitive matches against Degerfors and also beat Sunday's hosts 3-2 in a pre-season friendly back in February. Degerfors have lost four of their last six league games and looked destined to be involved in a relegation battle this season, while AIK are unbeaten in their last eight competitive matches.
Both Teams to Score
There is a very good chance that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend as that has been the outcome in three of the last six meetings between these two clubs in all competitions. Both teams have also scored in three of Degerfors' and each of AIK's last four competitive and non-competitive fixtures, adding further weight to our second prediction for Sunday's Allsvenskan clash.

Struggling Degerfors host title-challenging AIK
Degerfors played host to Malmo last time out but were undone by a brace from Malmo veteran Swedish international, Toivonen. The former PSV man scored twice in the first half as Malmo established a tight grip on the game. Degerfors failed to produce a response during the second forty-five and Malmo ran out comfortable 2-0 winners in the end. That result leaves Degerfors sitting second from bottom on 6pts from their opening 10-matches, so anything but a win this weekend could see the club slip down to last place.
Degerfors Predicted Lineup: Whiteman, Granath, Kralj, Sabetkar, Rajamohan, Örqvist, Gravius, Saidi, Campos, Salmon & Carlén
AIK made the trip to Helsingborg before the international break where they trailed at the break 1-0 thanks to a penalty from van den Hurk. AIK needed a quick response and they got it via a 21st-minute penalty from Seb Larsson. Larsson's namesake, Jordan Larsson, fired AIK into the lead just after the hour mark and AIK held firm to secure a 2-1 victory.
AIK Predicted Lineup: Nordfeldt, Lustig, Papagiannopoulos, Milošević, Björnström, Mendes, Ayari, Mbunga-Kimpioka, Hussein, Stefanelli & J. Larsson
