AIK vs Maribor Prediction & Betting tips
Six slots are still available in the UEFA Champions League group stage! There are four qualifying rounds before six teams can look forward to millions of dollars in revenue. The way into the group stage, however, is anything but easy and already at the beginning of the season, the players have to call in three-day rhythm peak performance. After the first leg last week, there are now the second legs. In Sweden there is a duel between Solna and Maribor!
Although the Swedish champions of the All-Year Championship 2018, AIK Solna, has a 1: 2 mortgage to deal with, may be in view of the gameplay with this result, however, lucky. Maribor missed it in the first leg to set the course for the move to the third round. The winner of this knockout match meets the winner of the match BATE Borisov against Rosenborg Trondheim.
AIK:
After years of dominance by Malmö FF, AIK Solna could celebrate the championship for the first time in nine years in 2018. Also in the current season, the team of head coach Rikard Norling may dream of winning the title again. After 18 of 30 league games, the reigning champions are in second place with Malmö FF.
Internationally, however, the current season would have ended almost early. Against the Armenian champion FC Ararat-Armenia Solna embarrassed in a foreign country with 1: 2 and could only decide with a laborious 3-1 home win the knockout duel yet for themselves. Thus, the international adventure was extended by at least four games, because even in the event of a retirement AIK Solna may still compete in the Europa League qualification. The existing home strength (in the championship 7-2-1 balance sheet) gives the Swedes certainly courage, but the Slovakian champions from Maribor is certainly much stronger than most of the opponents in the domestic Allsvenskan.
Also to mention is the outstanding defensive. In 2018, the champions conceded only an outstanding 16 goals in 30 league games, this season goalkeeper Linner has had to reach eleven times in 18 games behind him. Many goals are therefore not to be expected and to that effect, a tip on the sub 2.5 could turn out to be the right choice between Solna and Maribor.
The hopefuls in the offensive at AIK Solna are ex-Hoffenheim Tarik Elyounoussi (with nine goals top scorer in the league) and captain and veteran Henok Goitom (34 years). Also an old acquaintance in the squad is Chinedu Obasi due to his Hoffenheim past, in the important games, the man from Nigeria but maximum comes to joker missions.
Maribor:
Darko Milanic seems to work only in Slovenia at NK Maribor. From 2008 to 2013 he was already working for Maribor, before he experienced a relatively unfortunate engagement with both the SK Sturm Graz and Leeds United. Since March 2016 he has been working for Maribor again and was able to build on the old successes. In the meantime, he has won the title with Maribor no less than six times. NK Maribor is the record title holder in Slovenia with a total of 15 titles.
However, the start of the new season has not yet been as desired. In the league, the champion is still waiting for the first victory after three match days. After a surprising home defeat against Triglav on Matchday 1, there were two draws last. If the Milanic protégés now have to accept the end against the Swedish champions, the crisis would be perfect.
Anyone who has followed the first leg but a little last week, can hardly imagine an out. Maribor was oppressively superior, but quarreled a bit with the chance. Courage gives the Slovaks, however, the fact that the team acted much stronger in the past season abroad than at home. The playfully strong performance in the first leg and the outstanding away balance give us reason enough to make a prediction in the direction of the guests in the duel between Solna and Maribor.
