AIK visit the Studenternas IP on Sunday to face off with relegation-battling Sirius in the Allsvenskan, looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season. From 12 games thus far, the Gnaget have won seven times and drawn five to accumulate 26 points, behind only Mjallby and Hammarby (both 27 points each).
After a run of three consecutive draws, AIK returned to winning ways in their last league game with a narrow 1-0 defeat of Brommapojkarna on the road.
Johan Hove struck the only goal of the game in the 44th minute, although AIK were reduced to 10 men late on with Anton Saletros seeing red. The midfielder will be suspended from Sunday's clash as a result.
On the other hand, Sirius are second from bottom in the standings with just nine points in the bag from 11 games. They come into the fixture on the back of three consecutive losses.
