Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, IFK Norrkoping stand at 1W 5D 4L — 0.80 PPG. Last five: D L L D W. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.60 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

In front of their own supporters, IFK Norrkoping have posted 3W 2D 5L from their last 10 home games — 1.10 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.

Across their last 10 games, AIK Stockholm have recorded 8W 1D 1L — 2.50 PPG. Last five: W W L W W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 0.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Defensively, 0.50 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.

On the road, AIK Stockholm have gone 7W 0D 3L in their last 10 away fixtures (2.10 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.

Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour AIK Stockholm — 1.70 PPG ahead of the hosts (2.50 vs 0.80). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 7 H2H matches, IFK Norrkoping have won 3, AIK Stockholm 4, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 7 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.6 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 5 May 2024, ended IFK Norrkoping 2–6 AIK Stockholm — a AIK Stockholm win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.6 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

IFK Norrkoping in-play and half-time data (last 58 games, 29 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 94% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 69% of those occasions; of the 16 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 31%; of the 19 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 32%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games).

AIK Stockholm in-play and half-time data (last 58 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; BTTS occurs in 55% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — IFK Norrkoping 64% versus AIK Stockholm 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (IFK Norrkoping 62% | AIK Stockholm 48%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects IFK Norrkoping 1.05 xG and AIK Stockholm 1.52 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: IFK Norrkoping attack 0.844 / defence 1.231 | AIK Stockholm attack 0.994 / defence 0.902. League average goals — home 1.385 / away 1.246. IFK Norrkoping's defence rating of 1.231 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing AIK Stockholm's projected output up. Data: built from IFK Norrkoping's last 58 games and AIK Stockholm's last 58.

Result probabilities: IFK Norrkoping 26% | Draw 27% | AIK Stockholm 48%. Fair-value odds: IFK Norrkoping 3.90 | Draw 3.74 | AIK Stockholm 2.10. AIK Stockholm hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.58. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.58 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is AIK Stockholm at 48% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on AIK Stockholm offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.58 combined xG gives a 52% probability to Under 2.5 — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.6 goals per game across 7 H2H matches points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: IFK Norrkoping 50% (last 10 home games) | AIK Stockholm 50% (last 10 away games).
