Halmstad preview: Looking to improve their form
With four losses in the last six games, Halmstad have been rather unconvincing lately. In fact, they have been pretty inconsistent this entire season with six wins and seven losses in 13 matches they've played, which is enough to only put them in the middle of the table at the moment.
When it comes to team news, Naeem Mohammed and Gabriel Wallentin are out with injuries at this time.
Predicted lineup: Erlandsson (GK), Ofosu-Ayeh, Johansson, Baffo, Nogueira, Eyjolfsson, Svedberg, Al-Ammari, Granath, Ingason & Turgott

AIK Solna preview: Hoping to avoid another loss
After a solid start of the season, AIK have now lost six of their last eight matches in the Allsvenskan League. So, now AIK find themselves in the lower half of the standings, just four points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone, which is far below what was expected from this team coming into the season.
Meanwhile, Abdihakin Ali, Martin Ellingsen, and Alexander Fesshaie Beraki are on AIK Solna's injury list right now.
Predicted lineup: Nordfeldt (GK), Hansen, Milosevic, Papagiannopoulos, Modesto, Besirovic, Dabo, Thychosen, Faraj, Pittas & Celina

Player to watch: Ioannis Pittas
While we can see Halmstad getting the win here, AIK have their chances and one of their main weapons is Ioannis Pittas. The forward from Cyprus has eight goals in the league this season and he could help AIK avoid another loss on Monday.
Will Pittas score in the second half?
Only one of the eight goals that Pittas has scored in the league was scored in the first half, so it's clear that the Cypriot is more effective in the second halves of matches this season.
