AIK Stockholm vs. Slovácko: Preview and betting tips

The European Conference League will announce the qualifiers for the main groups on Thursday. Apart from Slavia, Slovácko will also be represented, heading to Sweden with a three-goal lead. Coach Martin Svedik’s charges are within reach of a historic promotion and should be able to secure it in the Swedish capital.

In the first match, the footballers from Uherské Hradiště presented a great game led by the ageless Milan Petržela. Besides Petržela, Sinyavskiy and Reinberk also secured the 3:0 victory and the first European Cup came much closer.

But it’s definitely not over. The three-goal deficit may seem clear at first glance, but less experience can still shuffle the cards. Especially the first half will be important, the result of which can give a significant hint in the fight for promotion.

We can also take into account Slovácko’s first away game in Istanbul in the Europa League preliminary round, where Fenerbahce significantly outplayed the Czech team. Moreover, after the domestic criticism, the Swedes want to correct the impression from the first match and try to make a big turnaround in the rematch.

The statistics speak more in favour of the Swedish club, which has lost only twice at home in 2022. Slovácko is not too comfortable with away games, with only one win, two draws and the aforementioned defeat to Fenerbahce in four games of the current season.

Last weekend’s win over Olomouc was the first full points on the road since 25 March, when Svědík’s charges defeated Hradec Králové in the extra time. It was also in this match that Slovácko kept a clean sheet for the last time. Since then, they have been getting two or three goals regularly.

And it could be similar now. Slovácko will secure promotion, but it won’t be easy. Martin Svedik’s charges will lose in Stockholm.
