HB Køge’s away defence concedes an average of 3 goals, with an xG against of 2.72, indicating that they allow a high number of quality chances. Aarhus Fremad have posted poor home results, including one defeat and an average of 2 goals conceded, but they have scored 13 goals in their last five matches and should be able to exploit their opponents’ highly unstable defence.

The visitors have lost four of their last five matches, although their average xG of 1.22 shows that a single goal remains a realistic scenario. Aarhus Fremad are in better form, however, averaging 2.6 goals scored and just 1.0 conceded over their last 5 matches, which increases the likelihood of a home clean sheet. The hosts have recorded BTTS in 60% of their matches during this period, but the contrast with HB Køge’s 0% and Aarhus Fremad’s defensive advantage shift the assessment towards a game in which at least one team fails to score.
