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, Skive in 6th and HB Køge in 8th 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.
Skive form and stats
Skive have played 15 First Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-5 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Hancock Arena.
A good away victory last time out for Skive, who won 2-0 against Hvidovre (placed 9th). A 2-2 draw away before that, with Roskilde the opponent.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
