AIK's transformation: something to prove in the derby

Something to prove

AIK go into the derby with a point to make. The team have spoken about their transformation and that they "have something to prove" (1). After the 4–3 comeback win away to Örgryte, the mood is determination, not panic.

Tenho out, Marqués in for Djurgården

Djurgården are without Miro Tenho, suspended for the derby (3). AIK coach Honkavaara confirmed Mikael Marqués steps in to replace him (2).

Carlstrand warns about Hegland

Linus Carlstrand, with 2+1 in his first start, singled out Bo Hegland as the player AIK must stop in the derby. "Annars vet jag inte mycket om..." he said (4).

You go into this one off the back of a 4–3 win away to Örgryte, sparked by 19-year-old Sixten Gustafsson's first Allsvenskan goal. Kickoff at Djurgården is 14:00 Sunday.
