This First Division fixture comes at a moment when neither side has broken away from the mid-table pack. Kolding IF have 12 points from 12 matches and sit 8th, while HB Køge follow in 10th with 11 points from the same number of games. This is therefore a match where both teams need points to avoid being dragged closer to the bottom group. Kolding IF come off a 0-1 defeat in their latest match, and before that they drew often and won occasionally. Overall they have scored 13 and conceded 15 in 12 matches. HB Køge were held 2-2 at home in their latest match and had a game where they scored as many as 5 goals before that. Their season totals are 17 scored and 22 conceded in 12 matches. The two teams are therefore very close, and both still struggle to find the moment to kill games off. The game is likely to take a shape where HB Køge have slightly more of the ball, based on the numbers from the last 10 matches with 54% possession compared to the hosts' 49%, and then gradually manage the game so that Kolding IF have to be the ones to open up. The hosts are likely to attack more given their home situation, but with both sides conceding as easily as they score, the game is more likely to be exchanged in several spells than to finish with a single goal.
