Kolding IF vs Aalborg prediction 24.05.2024

• Competition: 1st Division, Promotion Group
• Date: Friday, 24th May, 2024
• Kickoff: 18:00 UTC +1 / 19:00 CEST
• Venue: Autocentralen Park (Kolding)

With only two games to go, everything is decided in Denmark's 1st Division Promotion Group. In one of the most exciting matchups, Kolding IF vs Aalborg will face off at Autocentralen Park in Kolding.

Kolding IF managed to return to the 1st Division after winning the 2nd Division title in the 2022/23 season. This year, they have had another good season, as they are currently in 3rd place. However, they haven't been really close to securing that second place and second consecutive promotion. Right now, they are 11 points away from 2nd-placed Aalbor,g and considering there are only two rounds left, they are pretty much without a motive in this game. 

The last season was a pure disaster for Aalborg as they lost their first-tier status for the first time since 1991. However, they managed to secure an instant return this year. Regardless of the results in the remaining two games, Aalborg will finish 2nd and return to Superliga. So, just like their opponent, Aalborg are without too much motive in this game since they cannot move up or down. 

Kolding IF vs Aalborg pick: Over 2.5 goals

Kolding IF are in excellent form, having won three in a row while scoring seven goals - 2.33 per game. Mainly because of a good offensive display, they were over 2.5 goals in four of the last five matches. 

Aalborg are the best team in the group for this type of bet, as 20 of 30 games finished with at least three goals - 67%. In recent games, they haven't had the best results as they only won one game in the last seven, but still managed to score ten goals - 1.43 per game.

In the last h2h game, about a month ago, we saw a 3:3 draw! Now, in a game without too much motive, we do not expect a good defensive performance. That could easily result in a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
