Hvidovre IF
- Hvidovre's current form has seen them win just once in ten games, drawing three and losing six, which is a flat spell that will have them short on momentum when the match comes around.
- Martin Retov's men line up in a 3-5-2 formation, where they are a disciplined and patient side that will look to build play from the back through the width of the wing-backs.
- They prefer to keep the ball and control possession, but when they do break with tempo, they have a clinical edge that should help them cause problems for the visitors on Saturday.
Vendsyssel FF
- The hosts are on a three-match losing streak after their 2-1 away defeat to Hillerod was followed by a 8-1 friendly mauling by Brondby I.F, while Vendsyssel have been in sparkling form with three wins from their last five and back-to-back wins ahead of this trip.
- Vendsyssel are a fast and direct team with a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, where they use counter-pressing and the width of their wide runners to generate chances.
- Kim Engstroem's side have played 10 games across all competitions since mid-June and have won eight of them, a remarkable return that has thrust them up the table and into the mix of teams that could realistically finish in the top seven and make a push for promotion.
- The visitors have won three, drawn none and lost just one of their four away games across all competitions, scoring ten times along the way, so we may see a response from them if they go behind on Saturday.
Head-to-Head
Hvidovre IF have won the last 3 meetings between the two teams in all competitions, including their 3-1 success at home in the 1st Division 2024/2025.
