Recently, AIK defeated the top competitors IFK Gothenburg and Malmö.
Sunday's derby against Hammarby will be Solnalaget's third tough match in just over a week.
Matching that is noticeable, according to AIK striker Jordan Larsson.
- It is clear that the body takes a beating if you say so, but this is how you want it as a football player.
You want it to be tight between matches.
It's just to use all the motivation from the fans and the kick you get from winning, he says to SVT Sport.
"Will be big"
The black and yellows have now lined up five straight victories in the Allsvenskan.
The morale of the team is good before the meeting with Bajen, according to Larsson.
- Now it's just to gather all the energy we have.
- It will be big.
Lots of people in the stands and good pressure, we look forward to that.
And a victory is desirable to say the least.
- Of course it means a lot.
Not just for the fans, but for the club and for us players as well.
If we can win this, we will put ourselves in a good position.
Six (straight) victories would have been fantastic, but first we will play the match and win it as well.
"You can ask them ..."
Bilal Hussein, who is now a cog in AIK's midfield, is happy with the tough match.
- Fun with a lot and big matches.
It's nice, these are the matches you want to play.
It's fun that they come close too, says Hussein to SVT Sport.
The midfield conductor is satisfied with his role in the team and feels that he is gradually taking steps.
- It feels very good.
Better now than last year and I get to show my qualities offensively but also improved defensively.
How much do you feel you mean to the team?
- Haha .. You can ask them.
I'm just trying to work hard and be an option for my teammates.
I always want to do well in the matches and play my game.
