Hillerod
- Just one point separates fourth-placed Hillerod (47 points) and fifth-placed Hvidovre IF (46 points) after 31 games of the 1st Division Championship Group 2026, and whatever the result of this Sunday’s matchup will have big implications on the promotion race.
- Hillerod have been in average form with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five games.
- The hosts have been solid on their own turf with no defeats in their last two (W1, D1).
Hvidovre IF
- The away team is winless in their last five (D3, L2).
- Hvidovre IF have only managed two draws in their last two games on the road (W0).
Head-to-Head
The last two meetings between the two sides have ended in draws, with Hvidovre IF drawing 1-1 at Hvidovre's ground seven weeks ago.
Key Players
- Christian Loenstrup has done a great job at the club since taking over in 2021, turning the home team into a tough, pragmatic and versatile team who know how to win.
- Frederik Heiselberg is the team’s main threat up front as the Danish striker leads the club’s scoring charts with three goals in nine league games.
- Heiselberg can be dangerous on his day and has scored two goals in his last five appearances.
Hvidovre - Form & Approach
- Martin Retov took over at Hvidovre IF in July 2025 and instilled a very different philosophy at the club with a 4-3-3 system that focuses on possession, midfield rotation and high-tempo pressing.
- They have struggled in their recent five-game winless streak, particularly their 1-4 loss at home to Esbjerg fB just two days ago.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers make Hvidovre IF favorites at 2.45, with Hillerod at 2.59 and the draw at 3.52.
- Hvidovre have been strong on the road this season with seven wins, four draws and four defeats from 15 away matches, and have actually scored 20 goals in those 15 away fixtures.
Prediction
The away side have failed to win in their last two visits to Hillerod and with Hillerod’s average of 1.33 goals scored and just 0.93 goals conceded in their home matches this season combined with Heiselberg’s recent purple patch in front of goal, we think the pragmatic hosts can edge it out.
