- Competition: Denmark - 1. Division
- Date: Wednesday, 16th, April 2025
- Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18.30 CEST
- Venue: DS Arena (Hobro)
The DS Arena will host a tense survival scrap on Wednesday, with Hobro welcoming fellow strugglers Vendsyssel in a crucial bottom-of-the-table encounter.
Despite a handful of promising opportunities, Hobro couldn't find the breakthrough and had to settle for a disappointing nil-nil stalemate with B.93 at home, which keeps them only five points above the relegation line and still very much in danger.
Vendsyssel currently occupy one of the two drop-zone positions and were held to a dull scoreless draw by basement side Roskilde, yet they can take some encouragement from the fact that they’ve now narrowed the deficit to the survival line to just one point.
Hobro vs Vendsyssel Betting Tips : UNDER 2.5
Given the pressure-filled nature of this encounter and the likelihood that both teams would be content with preserving the status quo to steer clear of risky scenarios, we anticipate a conservative and low-intensity affair unfolding. Although Hobro enters as the favorite, their recent form has been somewhat untrustworthy due to a lack of sharpness in the final third, where they have failed to score in three of their last four matches and registering just one goal in that dry spell. In addition, Vendsyssel has embraced a cautious and defense-first mindset during the playout stage, with all three of their initial fixtures ending without a winner or a single goal on the scoreboard. Otherwise, VFF are sharing offensive woes with Hobro, as they extended their run without scoring to four league matches with last week's 0-0 draw against relegation-bound Roskilde, so there are no signs of a significant offensive breakthrough on the horizon. The last encounter between the two teams was decided by a single goal in Hobro's favor, so we expect another tight battle with a strong emphasis on defense, and as such, we wouldn't be surprised if the scoreboard remained unlit.

Hobro team news
After being replaced at the start of the second half in the 0-0 draw against B.93, Zander Hyltoft’s involvement on Wednesday remains in doubt due to the mystery surrounding his early exit.
After witnessing his side draw blanks in three of the past four games, head coach Martin Thomsen is considering adjustments to improve their attacking play.

Vendsyssel team news
As mentioned earlier, Vendsyssel have struggled recently, failing to score in their last four consecutive matches, which could lead to some fresh changes up front.
There are no injury reports for Mads Kristensen, so he'll be able to field his strongest lineup for Wednesday's game.
