AIK Fotboll will be aiming to continue their strong run of form when they take on Orgryte in the Swedish Allsvenskan on Sunday.
The home side are currently sixth in the Allsvenskan table, boasting 22 points from their opening 14 matches of the season, while Orgryte are 15th, collecting only 10 points from their first 14 games.
Match preview
AIK have a record of six wins, four draws and four defeats from their 14 league matches this season, with 22 points leaving them in sixth position in the table.
Jose Riveiro's side are only two points behind third-placed Hacken but sit 16 points off the leaders Sirius, who have been exceptional this season.
AIK will enter this match off the back of a goalless draw with Hacken, but they have won three of their four games since the season resumed in early July.
The Stockholm outfit have won the Swedish championship on 12 previous occasions, with their last title success coming in 2018, while they were runners-up in 2021.
However, a disappointing 2025 campaign saw them finish in seventh position.
Orgryte, meanwhile, will enter this match off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Vasteras, and they have only picked up one point from their last two games at this level.
Andreas Holmberg's side are currently 15th in the table, boasting a record of two wins, four draws and eight defeats from their 14 matches to collect 10 points.
OIS secured a return to the top flight through the second-tier playoffs last term, so consolidating back at this level is their main aim for the season.
Orgryte were last victorious on July 11, beating Hacken 4-3, but they have really struggled away from home this season, claiming only three points from seven matches.
OIS have only netted three times on their travels this term, but AIK have actually been beaten in three of their six home league fixtures during the current season.
