AARHUS, Denmark (Interstat) — Aarhus Fremad and Hobro will meet Sunday, April 26, in a 2. Division clash with both sides looking to build momentum after mixed midweek results.

The teams enter the match at Aarhus Stadium having faced each other three times this season. Hobro has won the last two meetings, including a 2-0 home victory Nov. 7 and a 2-1 win Sept. 24. However, Aarhus Fremad dominated their Sept. 20 encounter, winning 3-0 on the road.

Aarhus Fremad (8-7-5 in its last 20 league matches) is coming off a 5-1 rout of Middelfart on Wednesday. That result ended a two-game losing streak that included a 3-1 defeat at Aalborg BK on April 18 and a 2-0 loss to HB Koge on April 6. The club’s offense has shown volatility, scoring five goals Wednesday after being held scoreless in consecutive matches against HB Koge and Hillerod.

Hobro (7-6-7 in its last 20) lost 2-1 at home to HB Koge on Wednesday, snapping a two-match winning streak. Before that, Hobro had posted back-to-back wins, including a 6-0 demolition of Middelfart on April 18 and a 2-0 victory over B93 Kobenhavn on April 3. Despite the midweek defeat, Hobro’s defense has been stingy, allowing one goal or fewer in eight of its last 10 matches.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Aarhus Fremad.

Sunday’s match holds significance beyond the table. The clubs are scheduled to meet again May 14 in Hobro, giving the winner early bragging rights in the two-game series. Aarhus Fremad then travels to Middelfart on May 1, while Hobro visits Aalborg BK the same day.
