• The hosts are unbeaten in their last five (W3, D2) and have kept three clean sheets in that run.
• Niki Zimling’s pragmatic tactical approach since taking over in April 2026 has provided the backbone of their promotion charge, with central defenders and midfielders dictating shape, tempo and transition play through the wide areas.
• Kristian Kirkegaard and Julius Madsen have been excellent creators and scorers throughout the promotion push.
