Both Halmstads BK and AIK Fotboll will be looking to bounce back from defeats in their last game when they come together at the Orjans Vall on Monday in the Swedish Allsvenskan . The hosts sit ninth in the table, 10 points from third and five above relegation, while the visitors are just a point behind and sit in 11th with 17 points. Halmstad started their Allsvenskan campaign in fair form with four wins and two losses from their opening six games, leaving them in second on matchday six.
However, since then, a downturn in form has seen them pick up just six points from the following seven league outings with two wins and five defeats, causing them to rapidly descend the table into ninth ahead of this game. Those results leave the hosts as the only team remaining in the Allsvenskan yet to draw a match, but a point from this one would be a welcome result as they look to bounce back from a humiliating 5-1 defeat to league-leading Malmo FF last weekend. Magnus Haglund 's men have been at their best when playing in front of their home fans, taking 12 of their 18 total points from matches at the Orjans Vall, and they will be hoping to make the most of their home advantage once again in this one.
Their opponents AIK have had a similar story so far this term, starting the season in great fashion as they went unbeaten in their first five and found themselves in second place after seven fixtures. Three consecutive defeats to IK Sirius, IF Elfsborg and Hammarby IF have seemingly deraile.
