These two sides know each other very well having played just last week in their reverse league fixture.
GAIS got the better of AIK in that battle so Monday's hosts will be out for revenge at the Friends Arena, Solna.
We're predicting a close and competitive 90 minutes between two very evenly matched sides, both of whom have their sights set on European qualification.

Player to watch – Ioannis Pittas
Ioannis Pittas played the full 90 minutes of the 2-0 defeat at GAIS last week and will be desperate to score the goals that earn AIK all three points on Monday night.
The Cypriot striker has been in great form for his club this season, scoring nine times in 15 Allsvenskan appearances, three times as many goals as any of his teammates, so don't be surprised if he finds the back of the net on Monday night.
AIK's Cypriot striker has impressed this season
Pittas, 28, heads into the game against GAIS in excellent form, having scored six goals in his last eight appearances for club and country.
