The Swedish Allsvenskan returns with a fresh set of fixtures as AIK and Malmo lock horns at Friends Arena on Monday. Henrik Rydstrom’s men head into the game on a run of seven consecutive victories and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Malmo were involved in a seven-goal classic against Norrkoping last Sunday as they secured a 4-3 victory when the two sides squared off at Friends Arena.
Before that, Mikkjal Kjartansson Thomassen’s men kicked off the 2025 Allsvenskan campaign with a 1-0 victory over GAIS at the Gamla Ullevi thanks to a 92nd-minute winner from Bersant Celina.
AIK will be backing themselves to keep the juggernaut rolling on Monday as they take on an opposing side who have failed to win their last four meetings, losing twice and claiming two draws since a 2-0 victory in May 2022.
Like the home side, Malmo maintained their 100% start to the new league campaign last time out when they edged out Elfsborg 2-1 on home turf.
Rydstrom’s men have won six games on the trot across all competitions, scoring 17 goals and keeping four clean sheets since January’s 2-2 draw against Slavia Prague in the Europa League.
Malmo head into the new season off the back of clinching their 27th Allsvenskan title as they finished with 65 points from 30 games last season, 11 points and two places above AIK.
