B.93 Kopenhagen
- B.93 Kopenhagen welcome HB Køge to Copenhagen in a true relegation ‘six-pointer’ at the business end of the season on Friday, with both clubs desperate for three points to retain their 1st Division status and to establish some momentum going into the run-in.
- B.93 are just above HB Køge in the relegation group after a slightly better start to the campaign, but Kasper Lorentzen’s men have blown hot and cold since the start of March, with two vital wins on the road balanced out by a couple of dismal performances.
- This is a press versus block matchup, with B.93 the most aggressive team and Køge the most adaptive.
HB Køge
- Køge are a different beast altogether, with Nicklas Pedersen’s side more pragmatic and shape-driven than talent-oriented.
- The visitors have come together in April after consecutive 2-0 wins in the relegation group, showing they are now solid at the back and have a real goal threat from wide areas.
Head-to-Head
- B.93 Kopenhagen have dominated H2H stats with 7 wins from last 12, compared to HB Køge’s 3, with 2 draws.
- 53 goals have been scored in last 12 H2H games, an average of over 4 goals per game.
Key Players
-
They are led by creative engine Osman Abdulkadir Addo, who has the most assists on the team and is the driving force behind B.93’s proactive, technical style of play, which is based on quick combinations, aggressive pressing and high-tempo transitions.
- Mikkel Wohlgemuth - their top scorer with around 6 league goals
- Fisnik Isaki
- Carl Björk - a threat from set-pieces and late runs from deep
- Køge also boast Christian Tue Jensen, on 6 league goals, who is the hub of their attacks and has been their best player in the last few games, creating and finishing off some important goals.
Betting Insights
- While B.93 Kopenhagen are the favourites to win at 2.44, HB Køge are just behind at 2.52 for this clash.
- The bookies rate the goal markets as a certainty with over 2.5 goals at 1.53 and both teams to score at 1.42, which reflects the attacking quality of both sides and their inability to defend effectively.
Prediction
Given B.93 Kopenhagen have the H2H advantage and play at home, we’re tipping a draw, with 1-1 the preferred correct score, while a 2-1 win for the home side is another option.
