- Team form: AaB have won their last two games in the relegation group.
- Head-to-head: B93 have won just one of the last five head-to-heads, and recorded a 2-2 home draw in October 2025.
- Recent form: B93 have lost four consecutive games and allowed ten goals in their last four 1st Division relegation group matches.
AaB aiming to close in on survival with a win
B93 Kopenhagen (5th) have taken just 28 points from 25 games to sit 5th in the 2026 1st Division Relegation Group with a worrying -15 goal difference. AaB Aalborg (1st) have enjoyed a much better campaign overall, sitting top of the mini-league with 34 points from 24 matches and a significantly superior +6 goal difference.
B93 have lost 4 consecutive matches, conceding 10 goals in the process, and it’s likely that they will be relegated unless they can turn their form around against a side who have won both of their relegation group games in April. A win would seal AaB’s top spot and all but guarantee their survival, whereas a loss would send B93 further into the mire.
Free-flowing football anticipated in Aalborg
Tactics and setup:
AaB’s head coach Steffen Højer deserves credit for turning their fortunes around after a woeful March and has successfully implemented a pragmatic and disciplined 4-3-3 system that plays the ball forwards at tempo. AaB’s high-tempo pressing game looks to win the ball back and transition into attacking play as quickly as possible, often overloading wide areas and creating half-space attacks for Helenius and John to make runs into.
B93’s Kasper Lorentzen has had his hands full this season, with a defensive setup that has struggled to cope with the flow of the game and the side have a -15 goal difference this season. B93’s system is a compact 3-back system with wing-backs providing width and players like Osman Addo playing in a number ten role to transition from defence to attack at pace and vice versa.
Key players:
Mathias Nordestgaard Kubel leads the assists charts for AaB from the top of the midfield, while Nicklas Helenius is the top goal scorer with double-digit goals, with Kelvin John and Kornelius Hansen providing pace and creativity around the big centre forward.
AaB to edge the contest on home turf
B93 have had a difficult season by most standards, but their form has taken a downturn in the 2026 relegation group. Their players have been unable to score enough goals, their defense has crumbled, and their transition-based, youthful playing style has been exposed to the elements in their games over the past month.
Vincent Müller is a more than capable and experienced ‘keeper for AaB and has kept a steady flow of shutouts throughout the campaign, but B93 will find the net here, so 2-1 to the hosts looks the most likely score.
- B93’s main goal scorer is Mikkel Wohlgemuth with around six goals this term, while Carl Björk and Fisnik Isaki have contributed a handful of goals here and there and play their best football in transition.
- AaB are 1.8 favorites to win on Thursday, while B93 are 3.87 and the draw is 3.85, which is far too short for AaB and far too big for B93.
- With B93 in such poor form, and AaB having won the head-to-head in 3 of the last 5 meetings, we’re going with a home win and over 2.5 goals in the game.
