National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's FC Helsingør or HB Køge that keep their silverware dream alive.
The visiting HB Køge played their last game only four days ago, a First Division match. That game was also an away game, at Nykøbing. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
FC Helsingør form and stats
Last season their Landspokal Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.As mentioned below, FC Helsingør are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 First Division games. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Helsingør has won four games in a row. The Esbjerg match was the last time out without a victory.
Helsingør's previous game was a First Division match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Vendsyssel. The home side are looking to build on that result.
Before that match, a First Division win away at Horsens.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Helsingør, as the First Division home game vs Lyngby is only three days away.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the FC Helsingør at home in the league. 4 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
HB Køge form and stats
Køge was sent out of Landspokal Cup in the 3rd round last season.HB Køge are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the First Division, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
There might be some fixture complaints from Køge as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the First Division match against Nykøbing (1-3).
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Hobro in the First Division.The schedule is very tough for Køge now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A First Division game at Fremad Amager is waiting in only three days.
It's early days yet, but HB Køge has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
