Helsingor vs Vendsyssel prediction 09.10.2023

• Competition: 1st Division
• Date: Monday, 9th October 2023
• Kickoff: 18:00 UTC +1 / 19:00 CEST
• Venue: Helsingor Stadion (Helsingor)

Helsingor found themselves in the Promotion Group last season with a genuine shot at securing promotion before the final phase commenced. Sadly, their hopes were dashed as they suffered a dismal end to the season, managing only five points in ten rounds. Consequently, they lost the opportunity and ended up as the lowest-ranking team in the Group. This disappointing performance carried over into the current season, as they currently sit in 11th place after 11 rounds, having accumulated a mere eight points. Only Naestved fared worse than Helsingor in terms of points earned.

Last season, Vendsyssel also competed in the Promotion Group and finished 4th. However, their chances of promotion were slim, as they were 12 points behind Hvidovre IF, who came in second place. The current season had a promising start, but their recent performance in the last four games is worrisome, as they were only able to secure one point.

Helsingor vs Vendsyssel pick: Over 2.5 goals

Helsingor is currently ranked as the second-worst defensive team in the league, having conceded 25 goals in just 11 matches. The team with the worst defensive record is Naestved, who have allowed 26 goals. Helsingor’s defensive struggles are particularly evident when playing at home, where they have been the weakest defensively. In their most recent games, they allowed a total of 13 goals in just three matches. However, on the offensive side, Helsingor has performed well at Helsingor Stadion, managing to score at least one goal in all six matches. As a result of their strong offense and poor defense, Helsingor has the highest average goals per game in the league, with an impressive 4.2 goals scored per match.

Vendsyssel’s defense completely crumbled, resulting in over 2.5 goals in their last two games. They conceded a total of six goals against Aalborg and Horsens.

Just two months ago, in the previous head-to-head game, Vendsyssel emerged victorious with a score of 2:1 at their home turf, witnessing a total of three goals. Given the lackluster defensive performances from both teams in their recent matches, we anticipate yet another game with three or more goals.
