Kolding IF form and stats

With 2 First Division wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Kolding IF are certainly not brimming with confidence. Three consecutive losses here at Autocentralen Park is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

The Kolding fans got no joy from their last match, a First Division game also here at Autocentralen Park: A 0-1 defeat against Viborg. Preceding that match was a defeat to Viborg (0-1).

The Kolding IF fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. Kolding have conceded 23 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Hvidovre form and stats

As the visiting team in First Division matches, Hvidovre have produced an overall stat of 5-1-5 so far. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Hvidovre's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Hvidovre are looking to quickly end their 180 minutes long goal drought in the First Division.

There were no winners in Hvidovre's previous match, a First Division home game that ended 0-0 vs HB Køge. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FC Helsingør wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hvidovre have scored 14 goals in 11 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Hvidovre struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 18 goals conceded from these games.
