After five games we know a little more about the qualities of AB and HIK in this fresh 2. Division Group 2 season. Read our match preview!

It's no vacation for neither AB nor HIK as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

HIK have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

AB form and stats

AB have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the 2. Division Group 2. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. AB have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The AB goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 299 minutes without conceding a goal in the 2. Division Group 2.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for AB, who played 0-0 against HIK. That match was also played at this venue (Gladsaxe Stadion). Before that match, a win away at KFUM Roskilde.

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

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for AB here at Gladsaxe Stadion in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Defensively AB have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

HIK form and stats

Still no away game victory in the 2. Division Group 2 for HIK with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.

HIK have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 186 minutes ago. B. Kucukylidiz was the goal scorer.

HIK are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at AB (placed 6th). Prior to that match, the HIK manager H. Kuhn faced defeat when travelling to Næstved and losing 0-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with HIK playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were three HIK wins, one draw and one defeat.

Goals are few and far between in HIK's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. 3 goals have been conceded by HIK in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the AB - HIK 0-0 played earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: AB won two, HIK won two and six draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, eight matches with two goals or less.
