Week 9 features a match on Saturday May 21st, where AIK will host Sirius at Friends Arena in a meeting of these two Allsvenskan teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. AIK sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-3 draw against Hammarby. Nabil Bahoui struck first for AIK in the 9th minute on a feed from Nicolás Stefanelli, but Gustav Ludwigson got the equalizer for Hammarby in the 32nd minute . AIK should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Sirius recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Elfsborg. Christian Kouakou scored the first goal for Sirius in the 56th minute, then Aron Bjarnason added another in the 63rd minute on a feed from Laorent Shabani At the end of 90 a dissapointed Elfsborg couldn’t manage to score, and Sirius took the shutout win. Sirius is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season AIK won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Sirius is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Moustafa Zeidan and Laorent Shabani each only have 1 goal in their last five. Nabil Bahoui has been the most effective weapon for AIK lately. The Swedish midfielder has netted 3 goals in his last 5 matches.
