LIVESTREAM Sweden PPV: AIK @ Tyresö Royal Crowns, May 17, 17:00 CET (5 pm, 11 am ET)
The Tyresö Royal Crowns (2-1) welcome AIK (2-1) to Tyresövallen on Saturday, May 17 in a pivotal Swedish Superserien clash between two early-season contenders. Both teams aim to solidify their playoff credentials, with Tyresö riding a two-game win streak and AIK showcasing explosive offense despite a narrow 37-42 loss tothe Stockholm Mean Machines.
Tyresö’s ground-and-pound identity
Behind running back Vilgot Valeskog (278 rushing yards, 5 TDs), the Royal Crowns lean on a methodical ground game to control tempo. Quarterback Jared Heywood (523 passing yards, 3 TDs) complements the attack with efficient throws, though Tyresö’s limited roster depth demands error-free execution. Their defense, tested in tight wins over the Örebro Black Knights (18-13) and the Copenhagen Towers (26-6), must contain AIK’s high-octane passing attack.

AIK’s aerial dominance
Quarterback Max Lambert (668 passing yards, 10 TDs) pilots the Superserien’s third-ranked offense, fueled by receivers Morris Rewelj (217 yards, 2 TDs) and Joshua Hicks (170 yards, 3 TDs). British running back Nebechi Abana (146 rushing yards) adds balance, but AIK’s +44 point differential stems from Lambert’s arm talent and quick-strike ability. Their lone loss—a 42-37 thriller against Stockholm—proves their ceiling as title challengers.
Key matchup: Tyresö’s secondary vs. Lambert
Tyresö’s defense, yet to face a passer of Lambert’s caliber, must disrupt timing with pressure and tight coverage. Conversely, AIK’s defense, which allowed 42 points to Stockholm, faces a stern test against Valeskog’s physical rushing.
Saturday stakes
Playing in their all-red uniforms at Tyresövallen, the Royal Crowns aim to leverage home support and stifle AIK’s momentum. For AIK, a win cements their status as Stockholm’s prime threat. With playoff implications looming, this clash promises tactical intensity and Superserien drama.
