National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's HIK or Brøndby that keep their silverware dream alive.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Brøndby could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Superliga game only three sleeps ago.
HIK form and stats
HIK have not come this way in the Landspokal Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating B 1908 and Fremad Amager.HIK have played three 2nd Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
HIK travelled for their previous game, a trip to Roskilde that ended 1-1.
Preceding that match was a 2nd Division defeat to Thisted (2-3).The match schedule is unforgiving for HIK as they have a new game in only three days, a 2nd Division match thankfully also at home. Aarhus Fremad are visiting.

Brøndby form and stats

Preceding that game was the away Superliga victory against AGF with the score of 3-0.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Brøndby manager Sørensen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Hvidovre.
