HIK form and stats

HIK have played 10 2nd Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-5 (wins-draws-losses).

HIK's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Aarhus Fremad (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Næstved (3-4).

This is expected to be a close game, with HIK perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with HIK as a small favourite), we find eight games. HIK has won five of these, drawn zero and lost three.

HIK has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.

AB form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the best goal difference (+7) away in 2nd Division, on their 2nd Division travels is 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats. There's been quite the extraordinary succession of draws for AB when travelling, as their latest four away games have all ended undecided. Not since the Hillerød match has the points been given to just one team.

AB has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to B 93 for a 1-1 draw.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Thisted.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by AB in our archives, and the results are: three wins for AB, three draws and two defeats.

The travelling fans enjoy AB's attacking play in away games, having scored 19 goals in 10 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, AB have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

HIK-AB H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: HIK three wins, AB one win, six draws. two of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
