It is a new acquaintance Ishøj IF are promoted to the 2nd division, so it is the first time the two teams will cross swords in a tournament match.
The match will be played in Ishøj Sports and Leisure Center with the match starting at 13.00.
Considering that Ishøj IF is a promoted team and has had to get used to the level and play in the 2nd division, they have got off to a good start and are in 10th place with 11 points.
Ishøj IF most recently won a great victory in Valby Idrætspark with 2-1 against BK Frem, so the team comes to the match with lots of confidence.
After the meagre points harvest in recent games, AB has been relegated to 9th place with 12 points. So we have to expect a highly motivated AB team that is going for the win.
AB and Ishøj IF have actually met each other before. It was back 2 020, where AB won 2-1 on 1 September in the Oddset Pokalen. Emil Mygind put AB in front, Ishøj equalized and Frederik Ellegaard scored the winning goal in extra time.
AB has Marcus Bobjerg in quarantine. Ishøj IF has none.
The referee of the match, Oliver Alexander Stegemüller, Fogh Simbold, is assisted by Anders Eriksen and Anders Randrup on the lines.
Christian Wagner puts into words what the team can do in the match against Ishøj: “FFirst of all, we need three points. It’s been a while. There are 100 % thatwe are pursuing and striving for.
Ishøj is a difficult team to play against. They have surprised positively in the aone, so it will not be an easy match. I am convinced that if we bring our intensity and our own game to the game, then I also think that three points await. We have trained well before the match and brought a lot of intensity into the training. We have looked a little at Ishøj, but first and foremost Above all, we have focused on ourselves and what we can do better,” concludes Christian Wagner.
Head coach Joey Gudjonsson points out that a positive approach is the best starting point: “Again,this is an important combp, we will play when we meet Ishøj on Saturday away from home. Ishøj is a promoted team, there are good players in the team, and they have done well so far.
After the disappointing result in the last game, I still think there were good performances in the game. We played 70 minutes with 10 men, but we still managed to create chances. We will take it good attitude for the match against Ishøj.
There are no easy games in this division, so we must not make mistakes like we did in the last game. Against HIK we took the initiative in the game in the first 20 minutes and we played really well. I think we deserved to win, but we didn’t.
Now it is in our hands to turn things around. If you think that luck is not on your side, then you have to seek luck yourself. It’s about trusting your own abilities and the team’s and thus creating good performances.
We must always be positive, even if things don’t go our way. Both the team, the coaching staff and the staff must Towork positively and work hard to create improvements in the individual and in the team as a whole.
We want to have the ball a bit more and controlthe games, if we can. So ball possession is something that we work on. We want to be a team that other teams are afraid of, because we have pace, strength and technique, but we have to keep more on the ball. We need to play the ball better around the final third of the pitch so that we can create openings and chances .
We will always be positive, because there are no guarantees in football, you get nothing unless you work hard for it. Every match has a life of its own – and regardless of whether we win or lose, we go to the next game with a positive approach,” concludes Joey Gudjonsson.
