Vendsyssel and HB Køge have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the First Division.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Vendsyssel form and stats

When playing at home in the First Division, Vendsyssel have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 12 games.

Vendsyssel shared the glory with Næstved in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Hvidovre that ended 1-1.

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 Vendsyssel have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won one, drawn three and lost two.

The manager J. Mølby will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Fredericia in only four days.

Vendsyssel have scored 10 league goals here from 12 matches, not a lot. Vendsyssel have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

HB Køge form and stats

There's been little loot from HB Køge's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 12 away games in the First Division. HB Køge only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 6 draws.

Køge are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Roskilde (placed 12th). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Fredericia.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Køge playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one HB Køge win, four draws and two defeats.

After this away game Køge return home for a First Division game against Kolding IF. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Køge find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Køge's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
