On Thursday night, AIK Fotboll and Shamrock Rovers go head-to-head in the Europa League first qualifying round second leg.

Swedish side AIK recorded a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg in Ireland. The visitors will now be confident of booking their place in the next round.

AIK are unbeaten in seven games in the Europa League in 90 minutes. However, they did suffer a 2-1 extra-time defeat by Sporting Braga in last season’s competition.

The Swedish side has been inconsistent in their last Europa League games, winning three games and drawing four in 90 minutes. AIK do have a good home record in this competition, though, winning six of their last matches, while suffering defeat just twice.

Their recent games in this competition have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven outings.

AIK win and/or under 2.5 goals
