AGF face in-form Hillerød Fodbold in a cup match on Wednesday

AGF heads to Hillerød on Wednesday for its first Danish Cup match of the season, entering the competition in the third round. The tie will be played at Secma Ground/Hillerød Stadion with kickoff at 15:00.

Hillerød’s Strong Performance and AGF’s Expectations

Although Hillerød has been staging league home games in Farum and Helsingør due to stadium approval requirements for the Danish 1st Division, the cup allows the match to be played in Hillerød. The away section is sold out, with space for 400 AGF supporters.

Hillerød competes in the Danish 1st Division and has started the league campaign strongly. The team beat Esbjerg 3-0 the previous weekend before losing 3-1 away to Hvidovre in the latest round. After ten matches, Hillerød sits third in the table, one point off the top, with five wins, two draws, and three defeats.

In this season’s cup, Hillerød advanced with a 5-0 win over Viktoria in the first round and a 3-2 victory against Brøndby Strand IK in the second round. As a Superliga club that finished in the top six last season, AGF enters the competition at the third-round stage. In the same round last year, AGF beat VSK Aarhus 2-0.

The match in Hillerød is scheduled for Wednesday, 24 September, at 15:00. Fans of both teams are eagerly anticipating this clash, as it promises to be a thrilling encounter in the Danish Cup. AGF will be looking to make a strong impression and progress further in the tournament, while Hillerød aims to continue its impressive form and upset their higher-ranked opponents.
