GAIS Goteborg and AIK bring round 15 of the Swedish Allsvenskan to an end when they lock horns at the Gamla Ullevi Stadium on Monday. Fredrik Holmberg’s side will head into the game looking to get one over the visitors, having lost their last four meetings since October 2011.
GAIS Goteborg failed to return to winning ways in the league as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Sirius at the Studenternas IP last Saturday.
Holmberg’s men have now lost two of their last three Allsvenskan matches, with a goalless draw against Hammarby on July 7 sandwiched between the two defeats.
However, GAIS will be backing themselves to find their feet on Monday as they return home, where they have picked up 16 points from the last 18 available since the start of April.
AIK, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out when they edged out Halmstad 2-1 at the Örjans Vall Stadium.
Before that, Henok Goitom’s men were on a four-game losing streak, including back-to-back friendly defeats against Viking and Czech Republic outfit Sparta Prague.
With 20 points from 14 matches, AIK are currently eighth in the Allsvenskan table, two points and one spot behind Monday’s hosts.
