LIVESTREAM Sweden PPV: Stockholm Mean Machines @ AIK, April 17, 19:00 CET (7 pm, 1 pm ET)

AFI | AIK | 04/17/2025

On Thursday, April 17, the unbeaten Stockholm Mean Machines (2-0) face crosstown rivals AIK Stockholm (1-0) in a fiery Superserien clash at Bergshamra IP (7:00 PM CET). A sold-out crowd and SWE3 Play viewers will witness this Easter derby between two teams eyeing early-season dominance.

Mean Machines’ Offensive Firepower
Stockholm’s aerial attack, led by QB Dawson Herl (304 passing yards/game), has dazzled with eight touchdowns split among four receivers. While the ground game (108 yards/game) trails last year’s production, Herl’s precision (four TDs vs. Oslo) keeps defenses guessing.

Defensive Wall
The Mean Machines’ defense has allowed just 7 total points, stifling opponents to 66 rushing and 98 passing yards per game. Linebackers Alexander Eshagi and Adam Vestin anchor the unit, while Lucas Ramn’s breakout game (two sacks, two forced fumbles) adds edge. Their secondary could feast on AIK QB Max Lambert, who threw four interceptions in his 255-yard, three-TD debut.

AIK’s Air Raid
Lambert’s arm fueled AIK’s 28-6 win over Copenhagen Towers, with WR Morris Rewelj (4 catches, 139 yards, 1 TD) stretching defenses and Canadian standout Joshua Hicks snagging two touchdowns. However, Lambert’s turnover woes (four INTs) loom as a vulnerability against Stockholm’s ball-hawking defense.

X-Factor: Rivalry Heat
With pride and positioning at stake, turnovers and red-zone execution will decide this battle. Can AIK’s physicality disrupt Herl’s rhythm, or will Stockholm’s defense cement their early dominance?
