AaB
- AaB are 6th in the 1st Division 2025/2026, currently holding 26 points from 18 matches.
- AaB have won five, drawn one and lost two of their home games in the 1st Division, scoring 2.12 goals per match, conceding 1.12 goals per game.
- Steffen Hoejer has instilled a more progressive, ball-possessing culture in AaB since his appointment in July 2025, setting them up in a 4-3-3 formation, controlling the midfield and pressing high to try and win the ball back as quickly as possible.
- Kelvin John leads the line with seven goals in 18 league games and is the most likely AaB goal-scorer here, but Oliver Ross has chipped in with two of the hosts’ six goals over the last five matches and can be a good outside option for an anytime scorer.
Hillerod
- Hillerod are 2nd with 32 points from 18 matches.
- Christian Loenstrup has installed a much more pragmatic and structured approach in Hillerod since taking over in 2021, as they sit deep and look to stifle their opponents, playing on the break and from set pieces.
- Adrian Justinussen is the talisman of the side and sits top of the scoring charts with ten league goals from 18 appearances, so he will be the best anytime goal-scorer option for the visitors on Friday.
- Hillerod have won two, drawn two and lost just one of their last five in all competitions, and currently sit on the back of a two-game winning streak.
