Our model expects an AIK Stockholm win

The previous meeting between the sides came on 5 April 2026, when AIK won 2-1, following two 2025 encounters won 2-0 by Halmstad on 9 November and 6 July.

Our model expects an AIK Stockholm win. AIK have lost just once in 11 away league fixtures this season, while Halmstad have lost six of their 10 matches at Örjans Vall and average just 0.58 expected goals across their last five games. Although AIK's 12 absences and an average of 2.58 expected goals conceded per match complicate matters, the home side's lack of attacking output tilts the match in the visitors' direction.
