FC Fredericia vs Hvidovre IF Best odds and tips

FC Fredericia are second in the Danish 1st Division 2024/2025 table with 55 points from 29 games, 11 points ahead of fifth-placed Hvidovre IF, who have 44 points from 29 games. Michael Hansen’s side have won two and drawn three of their last five matches and are on a two-game drawing streak ahead of Friday’s fixture. Hvidovre IF have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches, beating OB 2-1 at home, drawing 1-1 away to OB and losing 0-1 at home to Kolding IF in their last outing. Per Frandsen’s side are a solid, but unspectacular team that can be tough to break down in the middle of the park, but lack the penetration to break down teams on their own.

Fredericia have won one and drawn one of their last two home matches, while Hvidovre IF have won one and drawn one of their last two away matches. Fredericia are the bookies’ favourites for this game at 2.25, but Hvidovre IF are only slightly underdogs at 2.90, which makes the home side the obvious selection. However, with both teams solid and neither particularly prolific in front of goal, the under 2.5 goals market looks a safer bet for punters than taking a side in the match result market. These two sides are very evenly matched and Hvidovre IF have won two, drawn one and lost none of the last three head-to-head meetings in all competitions.

Fredericia set up to be a compact, tough to break down unit and hit teams on the counterattack when they can. Hvidovre IF are a more deliberate side that like to build from the back and control the pace of the game, but can be a little too patient in the final third at times. Gustav Marcussen is a pacey and powerful number ten who has scored five goals in his last seven league appearances, four of which have come in the last five, and he looks a good bet to get on the scoresheet for the home side on Friday. Simon Makienok is Hvidovre IF’s main goal threat with three goals in his last seven 1st Division matches, netting half of their last five goals.
