Västerås vs AIK Prediction: Both sides are struggling

AIK hope to bounce back to winning ways when they travel to the Hitachi Energy Arena on Saturday to face struggling Västerås. AIK have not lost against Västerås in history. Can history be rewritten in this game? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Västerås

WLWDL

Västerås continued to battle relegation when they suffered a 4-0 loss to Hacken in their last game. They have not won in their previous three games in all competitions. Grönvitt sit bottom of the table with just 12 points in 16 games, scoring 12 goals and conceding 22. However, Mikael Marques is ruled out of the season due to a broken bone in his foot. Simon Johansson (foot injury) and Simon Gefvert (cruciate ligament tear) are also ruled out.

AIK

LLWLL

In their last match, AIK suffered their second loss in a row, losing 1-0 to GAIS. They had 70% of the ball in the game but couldn’t use their chances, shooting just three on target out of their 16 total shots. They had been defeated 2-0 by this same GAIS in round 15, where they also had 62% possession of the ball. They have now lost 6 of their last seven games. They sit 11th on the table with 20 points in 16 games, scoring 26 and conceding 33. However, Alexander Milosevic will miss this clash due to accumulated yellow cards. Aaron Stoch Rydell, Abdihakin Ali, Alexander Fesshaie, and Martin Ellingsen are all ruled out due to injuries.

Possible Starting 11

Vasteras SK — Fagerstrom, G Granath, Jonsson, Magnusson, Warneryd, Ask, Linday, Larsson, Boudah, V Granath, Ahlinvi.

AIK – Nordfeldt, Thychosen, Papagiannopoulos, Hansen, Edh, Modesto, Dabo, Saletros, Celina, Besirovic, Pittas.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have been struggling recently, but AIK are still a better pick in this game. They have avoided defeats in all their six games played against Vasteras. Additionally, neither side has been great defensively. This will lead to a free flow of goals in this clash, and I expect both clubs to score.
