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 7th place.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Skive form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Skive's two home games in the First Division so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Hancock Arena.

Skive lost their last game at Vejle after a 1-2 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Vendsyssel and winning 1-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Skive have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 2.

Early season league goal statistics from Skive's 2 home games: 3 goals, 3 conceded.

HB Køge form and stats

Things could have gone better for HB Køge in their First Division away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right. It could be a hat trick of victories away for HB Køge, as they have won on their previous two travels.

HB Køge won their last game, 3-1 versus Fremad Amager played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Roskilde at their stadium, the result 3-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with HB Køge playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were 3 HB Køge wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the HB Køge manager M. Karlsen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against KFUM Roskilde.

HB Køge are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). In the opposite end, HB Køge have conceded 5 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Skive won 2 games, 6 matches ended with a draw and HB Køge has 2 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 3 / 7
