Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, HB Køge in 8th and Fredericia in 5th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
HB Køge form and stats
HB Køge have played three First Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. HB Køge are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Køge Stadion, having lost their two previous games here.
No payout for Køge in their previous match, an away game at Hobro that ended in defeat 1-3. A strong away win before that one, visiting Bispebjerg and winning 4-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for HB Køge as they are travelling to their away game against Vendsyssel in the First Division. That match is three days after this one.
Køge have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Køge have conceded 7 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Fredericia form and stats
Fredericia are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the First Division, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Vendsyssel (placed 9th) in their previous outing. The First Division match ended in a draw 1-1. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus FC Helsingør.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Skive in just three days.
The Fredericia manager J. Dal has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Fredericia in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Køge, four draws and four wins for Fredericia. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
