Vendsyssel FF
- This Thursday's clash between 8th-placed Vendsyssel FF and Hillerod could be a bit of a chess match between two well-organised sides with different styles.
- Vendsyssel FF have lost 1 home fixture in 1st Division 2026/2027 (W0, D0, L1).
- Vendsyssel are defeated in one home match of the 1st Division 2026/2027, but the loss means they have yet to really find any traction in 8th spot with just two points from three matches.
- Kim Engstroem has overseen a ball-playing 4-3-3 that is structured, pressing and controlling since he took charge of Vendsyssel on 6 January 2026.
- Ari Olsen leads the team with 1 goal in three games in the 1st Division 2026/2027, but Lasse Steffensen has been the most prolific of the Vendsyssel players of late with three in the last five.
Hillerod
- Hillerod have lost 5 and won 0 of their last 5 matches.
- Hillerod have lost both of their away games in 1st Division 2026/2027, conceding 6 goals.
- The Slotsbyens hold are in a nasty slump that has seen them fail to win any of their last five matches in all competitions, including two in the 1st Division 2026/2027.
- Hillerod have lost both of these matches, first by 2-3 to Esbjerg F.B. at home before a wild 4-5 defeat to Vejle Boldklub away, leaving them 11th with zero points from 3 matches.
Key Players
- Ari Olsen leads the team with 1 goal in three games in the 1st Division 2026/2027, but Lasse Steffensen has been the most prolific of the Vendsyssel players of late with three in the last five.
- Saman Jalaei is their main man in 1st Division 2026/2027 with two goals in three matches, while he has two in their last five.
- Hillerod are still capable of scoring goals, however, as they proved in their 4-0 cup victory over Hobro and 1-1 away draw with FC Fredericia.
Betting Insights
- The home side have the extra edge in the bookmakers at 2.26, although the odds of 2.88 on Slotsbyens hold certainly look a little short given that they have won zero and lost five of their last games.
- However, there's enough of a chance that Hillerod can nick a goal to make the double chance option of Vendsyssel or draw a better play for the bettor.
Prediction
There's a good match-up to be had between Vendsyssel's measured approach to building up from the back and pressing when out of possession and Hillerod's more direct style that creates more sharp bursts forward in transitions.
