Hacken host AIK at Nordic Wellness Arena in Gothenburg on Monday evening in what shapes up as a genuinely interesting mid-table Allsvenskan fixture. Both clubs are sitting in the top half of the table, separated by just one point, with Hacken on 19 and AIK on 18, though the visiting side has been the form team by a considerable margin over the past month. AIK have won four of their last five games across all competitions, while Hacken have managed just one win in that same window. The history between these two adds extra texture: their last meeting, a Svenska Cupen group stage clash, ended in a 4-0 thrashing for AIK, and the Allsvenskan meetings across 2024 and 2025 have been chaotic affairs with goals flying in at both ends.
Two players stand out as key influencers here. For Hacken, Julius Lindberg has been the standout contributor in recent weeks, registering two goals and two assists across his last three appearances with nine total shots and a 83% pass accuracy, making him the creative heartbeat of Jens Gustafsson’s side. For AIK, Taha Ayari deserves close attention: one goal, two assists, and eleven free kicks earned in three matches suggest he is capable of causing serious problems, especially with AIK averaging 45 free kicks across their last five games compared to Hacken’s 40.
Hot stat: AIK have conceded only two goals across their last four matches while scoring eight, a run that includes wins over Mjallby, Goteborg, and GAIS. Their defensive solidity during this stretch is a sharp contrast to Hacken’s leaky backline, which shipped four goals to both Orgryte and Hammarby in consecutive fixtures.

Hacken vs AIK Prediction
The bookmakers make Hacken slight favourites at around 1.83 on average, which honestly feels a touch generous given the form gap between these sides right now. AIK at roughly 3.60 represents genuine value. José Riveiro’s side have been direct and efficient, winning four of their last five, and they arrive in Gothenburg with momentum that Hacken simply cannot match at the moment. Hacken lost three of their last four, including a 3-4 collapse at home to Orgryte, a side sitting 14th in the table. That result alone raises questions about the defensive organisation under Gustafsson.
The head-to-head record across Allsvenskan fixtures is tight, with draws in both 2025 meetings and Hacken winning both 2024 encounters, but the most recent competitive meeting swung heavily in AIK’s favour. The pattern of these games suggests goals, with both teams scoring in three of the last four Allsvenskan clashes between them. Hacken’s style generates shots (41 across five games) but also concedes a lot, while AIK’s 31 total fouls in five games compared to Hacken’s 26 hints at a physical, pressing approach from the visitors that could disrupt Hacken’s build-up play. Hacken’s pass accuracy sits at 86% in their last five games, notably higher than AIK’s 80%, but that possession quality has not translated into clean results lately.
We think AIK win or draw is the safest angle here. The outright AIK win at around 3.60 is tempting, but given the home setting and Hacken’s ability to create chances even in poor form, both teams to score yes feels like the most grounded selection.
- Best bet: AIK Win or Draw (Double Chance)
- Value pick: Both Teams to Score – Yes
- Long shot: AIK to win by exactly one goal

Team Analysis
Hacken’s recent run has been rough. They beat Halmstads 2-0 in their most recent outing, which flatters them slightly given Halmstads are rooted to the bottom of the table without a single league win all season. Before that, they lost 3-4 to Orgryte at home, a result that genuinely shocked given Orgryte’s form, then fell 2-4 to Djurgardens and 1-4 to Hammarby in back-to-back fixtures. The only convincing positive in their last five was a 1-0 win over Mjallby back in mid-May. Gustafsson’s side generate plenty of attacking intent, with 41 shots across five games and 18 corners, but the defensive numbers are alarming. They have conceded 13 goals in their last four competitive matches before the Halmstads game. Abdoulaye Doumbia has been busy defensively with 10 interceptions across three games, but even his industry has not been enough to shore things up at the back.
AIK’s form tells a very different story. Their last five matches produced four wins and one defeat, with that loss coming against Kalmar (0-2) sandwiched between victories. They beat GAIS 2-0 most recently, a controlled performance, and before that dispatched Mjallby 2-1 and Goteborg 2-1. The 3-2 win over Vasteras SK was the most dramatic of the run, but it still showed AIK’s ability to grind out results when under pressure. Johan Hove has been central to their attack with 10 shots and one goal in three games, while Kevin Filling has chipped in with a goal and an assist. The backline, marshalled by Sotirios Papagiannopoulos and supported by Mads Thychosen and Eskil Smidesang Edh, has looked organised. AIK’s 24 interceptions across five games is lower than Hacken’s 31, but their defensive shape has been more coherent in terms of actual results conceded.

Across the five most recent meetings between these clubs, the aggregate stands at 11-10 in Hacken’s favour, which underlines just how consistently open these fixtures have been. The last three Allsvenskan encounters produced draws at 2-2 and 3-3, then a 2-0 Hacken win, before AIK’s dominant 4-0 cup victory earlier this year reset the narrative. These games almost always produce goals, and there is no strong reason to expect that changes on Monday.
Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Hacken the Favourite
- Moneyline Hacken 1.83 | AIK 3.60
- Draw 3.97
The market has Hacken at around 51% implied probability, which we think is inflated by home advantage rather than actual current form. AIK’s 26% implied probability at roughly 3.60 looks undervalued given they have won 80% of their matches in the last 30 days compared to Hacken’s 25%. The draw at around 3.97 is fair given the head-to-head tendency toward tight or shared results in Allsvenskan, but we lean toward AIK being the smarter side to back here, either outright or through the double chance market.
Possible Starting Lineups
Hacken Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Andreas Linde
- DF: Brice Wembangomo, Filip Helander, Harry Joachim Hilvenius, Olle Samuelsson
- MF: Mikkel Rygaard Jensen, Abdoulaye Doumbia, Julius Lindberg, Pontus Dahbo
- FW: Adrian Svanback, Gustav Lindgren
Hacken have been setting up in a 4-2-3-1 shape across their recent matches and that is unlikely to change here. Andreas Linde starts in goal with three appearances in the last five. The back four picks itself, with Filip Helander and Harry Joachim Hilvenius as the central pairing, both logging 270 minutes across three games. Brice Wembangomo is the standout fullback with 218 passes and one assist. In midfield, Abdoulaye Doumbia has been a workhorse with 10 interceptions, and Julius Lindberg is the player to watch, two goals, two assists, and nine shots in three games. Gustav Lindgren leads the line having scored twice, with Adrian Svanback providing energy from the left. Adam Lundqvist is in contention at fullback with one assist in two appearances.
AIK Possible Starting Eleven

- GK: Kristoffer Nordfeldt
- DF: Sotirios Papagiannopoulos, Mads Thychosen, Eskil Smidesang Edh, Lukas Bergquist
- MF: Taha Ayari, Johan Hove, Axel Kouame, Amel Mujanić, Dino Beširović
- FW: Kevin Filling
AIK also line up in a 4-2-3-1 system under José Riveiro. Kristoffer Nordfeldt takes the gloves with eight saves across two games. The back four of Papagiannopoulos, Thychosen, Edh, and Bergquist has been consistent, with Bergquist contributing one assist and three interceptions. Taha Ayari is the creative engine in midfield, 11 free kicks earned, two assists, and one goal across three games. Johan Hove is direct and dangerous with 10 shots. Kevin Filling leads the attack with a goal and an assist. Victor Andersson offers a useful option off the bench with one goal and one assist in limited minutes. The midfield balance between Beširović and Mujanić provides the defensive cover Riveiro’s system demands.

The Verdict
Honestly, this feels like a match where the table position flatters Hacken more than their recent performances justify. They sit fourth with 19 points but have been leaking goals at a worrying rate, conceding 12 in their last four before the Halmstads win. AIK, by contrast, arrive with genuine momentum, a settled defensive shape, and players like Ayari and Hove who can hurt teams in transition and from set pieces. The head-to-head history says both teams will score, and the attacking quality on both sides supports that. We think AIK take something from this game. The double chance (AIK win or draw) at around 1.65-1.70 depending on the book is the sensible play, with both teams to score yes adding value on top. If you want to take a swing at AIK outright, the 3.60 price is genuinely appealing given everything the recent data points toward.
