In Allsvenskan's third round, AIK and Malmö face each other in Solna on Monday night.
AIK snatched their second win at Norrköping's expense
Led by Mikkjal Thomassen, AIK has had an impressive start to the league season with two victories. After an opening-round away win over GAIS thanks to a stoppage-time goal by Bersant Celina (1–0), they followed up with a hard-fought 4–3 home win over Norrköping at Strawberry Arena last week.
The visitors led at halftime due to an own goal by AIK defender Sotirios Papagiannopoulos, but the hosts managed to turn the match around in the second half in what turned into a goal fest. First, Hungarian defender Áron Csongvai equalized 1–1 around the 60-minute mark. Norrköping then pulled ahead again with two goals by Christoffer Nyman in the 62nd and 71st minutes, making it 1–3.
AIK didn’t give up. Substitute John Guidetti narrowed the gap to 2–3 in the 74th minute after a setup by Celina. Then Mads Thychosen blasted in the 3–3 equalizer in the 85th minute. The winning goal came in stoppage time, as Norwegian midfield maestro Johan Hove — who joined AIK from Groningen this season — finished from Thychosen’s assist to seal a 4–3 victory. The expected goals (xG) were even at roughly 1.5 xG each.

Midfielders: Taha Ayari (knee), Abduhakim Ali (leg injury), Eskil Edh (back), and Martin Ellingsen (leg injury), as well as forwards Danilo Al Saed (knee) and William Hofvander (leg injury) for the match against Malmö.

Malmö took down Elfsborg
Under coach Henrik Rydström, Malmö — the champion of the last two seasons — has also started the campaign strongly, living up to their title-contender status by winning their first two league matches. They beat Djurgården 1–0 in the opener at 3Arena with a goal by Jens Stryger Larsen, and last week they defeated 2022 runners-up Elfsborg 2–1 at home at Eleda Stadion.
After a goalless first half, Anders Christiansen put Malmö ahead 1–0 in the 47th minute. Simon Hedlund, who had missed a penalty in the first half, equalized for Elfsborg in the 71st minute. Then, after about an hour of play, a substitute duo produced Malmö’s winning goal: Taha Ali provided the assist, and Icelandic midfielder Arnór Sigurðsson — who played for Blackburn last season — finished in the 78th minute, securing the three points for Malmö. Despite the result, Elfsborg edged the xG narrowly and did not deserve to lose.
Team news - Malmö FF:
Goalkeeper Johan Dahlin (knee), defender Anton Tinnerholm (groin), and midfielders Stefano Holmquist (back), Gentian Lajqi (knee), and Oscar Lewicki (calf) for Monday’s match.
Malmö's possible starting lineup (4-4-2):

With both sides having started their league campaigns unbeaten, Monday’s clash promises to be a tightly contested affair. Should we simply take the draw only for the best value?

AIK以Norrköping为代价夺取了他们的第二场胜利

AIK没有放弃。第74分钟，在塞丽娜的助攻下，替补队员约翰·圭蒂将比分缩小到2-3。然后在第85分钟，麦德斯·塞里selected打进一球，将比分扳平。制胜一球是在补时阶段打进的，挪威中场大师约翰·霍夫——本赛季从格罗宁根加盟AIK——接了Thychosen的助攻，锁定了4-3的胜利。预期目标（xG）甚至都在1.5 xG左右。
