AIK will be seeking to end their three-game winless run in the Swedish Allsvenskan when they play host to Kalmar at the Friends Arena on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last six outings across all competitions and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Trending
AIK failed to return to winning ways last Sunday as they were held to a 2-2 draw by IF Elfsborg.
They have now failed to win any of their last three league outings, picking up two draws and losing once since May’s 2-1 victory at Helsingborgs.
With 25 points from 14 games, AIK are currently third in the Allsvenskan standings, three points off first-placed Hacken.
Like the hosts, Kalmar were involved in a share of the spoils last time out when they played out a 1-1 draw with Sirius.
This followed a similar 1-1 draw away to Helsingborgs on July 2 which saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.
Kalmar, who are unbeaten in six straight games, are currently sixth in the league table after picking up 21 points from 13 games.
