Malmo. It might seem like a little more than that before the top.
But it is clear that Erdal Rakib is sincere:
– I don’t know when you last lost to AIK, says the MFF midfielder before the big meeting.
Malmo FF He previously defeated AIK twice this spring: in the cup quarter-finals with 3-2 after extra time and in the Allsvenskan 3-0. Both times at home.
And on Thursday, he shines again in a match that was already supposed to be played this summer but has been changed due to the teams’ European matches.
Do you have a mental advantage after two victories this year, Erdal Ruqayya?
It might stay in the heads of some of their players and we have a positive feeling. But at the same time, it’s a new game and they have a home ground and they come up with a new card, says the MFF midfielder.
15 in a row without losing against AIK
We’re talking about an AIK nightmare away from an MFF. Solnalaget has not won in Malmö since 1996.
But it’s been tough to win at home against the MFF in recent years.
– I don’t know when you last lost to AIK, what year it was, Rakip says honestly and thinks a little without remembering any lost match.
Fall 2015 is AIK’s 2-1 answer in Friends. Then he jumped up within 20 minutes.
Since then, the 26-year-old has played eleven games in a row unbeaten against one of MFF’s biggest rivals. The team has four more matches, for a total of 15 matches, without losing to AIK.
It’s good to have good stats against them. But like I said: It’s a new game and you can’t live on the old as he says.
