AIK - Hammarby

Kevin Filling spearheads the AIK attack as they prepare to host Hammarby on 30 August 2026 in matchday 19 of the Allsvenskan. The hosts enter this encounter with significant momentum, having secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Djurgaarden and a 3-0 cup win against Piteaa in recent weeks. However, the squad faces defensive challenges, with Sotirios Papagiannopoulos and Axel Kouame sidelined by injury. The expected XI, anchored by goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt, will look to replicate their 2-1 success from the previous meeting between these sides in May.

Hammarby arrive at Strawberry Arena in fine domestic form, having dispatched GAIS 2-0 and Kalmar FF 4-0 in their last two league outings. While their European campaign ended recently, the visitors have shown clinical efficiency in front of goal. With Paulos Abraham and Victor Lind expected to lead the line, Hammarby will aim to disrupt AIK's rhythm and secure a vital result in this high-stakes rivalry.
