Both clubs arrive with contrasting recent form: AIK have turned a poor start into three wins in their last four matches, whereas Mjallby have slipped to a single win in five. The disparity in confidence is evident, but the numbers tell a clearer story.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Mjallby AIF to win Slight lean Strong · Highest win prob

The model gives Mjallby a 44.4% chance of winning versus AIK’s 31.1%, making the away side the clear favorite.

Show the maths
The model’s win probabilities sum to 100%, with Mjallby at 44.4% and AIK at 31.1%. This gap of 13.3 percentage points makes the visitor the most likely victor. Their expected goals of 1.6 compared with AIK’s 1.3 further supports a slight edge in scoring. Even though both sides concede heavily, the higher win probability outweighs the defensive concerns, driving the pick.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 58.1% model probability

With AIK Stockholm averaging 1.3 expected goals and Mjallby AIF averaging 1.6, the model gives a 58.1% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 41.9% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (AIK Stockholm 1.3, Mjallby AIF 1.6) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 58.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 41.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals 55.4% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.9 (AIK Stockholm 1.3 + Mjallby AIF 1.6) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 55.4% chance against 44.6% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (AIK Stockholm 1.3 + Mjallby AIF 1.6 = 2.9 combined): 55.4% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 44.6% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has AIK Stockholm at 31.1%, the draw at 24.5%, and Mjallby AIF at 44.4% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 11.4% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

AIK Stockholm

LWWWD

AIK’s last five league results read L‑W‑W‑W‑D, highlighted by a 3‑2 home win over Hammarby FF and a 3‑1 away victory at Djurgårdens IF. Those three wins in a row show attacking potency, but the recent 0‑0 draw away at Malmö FF hints at a drying up of goals, reinforcing the notion that a win is not guaranteed.

Mjallby AIF

LWLLL

Mjallby’s five-game run is L‑W‑L‑L‑L, with the lone win a 4‑3 home thriller against Sirius. The subsequent four defeats, including 0‑4 and 0‑2 losses to Djurgårdens IF, underscore a fragile defence and an inability to protect leads, which aligns with the model’s higher win probability despite the poor form.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings AIK have three wins (2026‑07‑11, 2025‑05‑11, 2024‑08‑11), one draw (2024‑04‑13) and one loss (2025‑07‑20), indicating a historical edge for the home side, but the model still favours Mjallby this time.
