Hellerup vs B.93 Prediction & Betting Tips (13 November)

Hellerup IK welcome Boldklubben af 1893 to Gentofte Sportspark on Friday 13 November 2026 for a Danish 2nd Division Round 16 clash that carries very different pressures for each side. B.93 arrive in third place on 24 points from 15 matches (7 wins, 3 draws, 5 defeats, 26 scored and 20 conceded) and remain firmly in the promotion-qualification conversation behind leaders Nykøbing FC (31 points) and unbeaten FC Roskilde (29), while HIK prop up the wrong end of the table in tenth on 15 points (4-3-8, 14 scored and a worrying 25 conceded), five points clear of the relegation-qualification zone but with the worst defensive record among the non-bottom-two sides. The historical pattern points one way: across 19 previous meetings between these two famous Copenhagen clubs, B.93 hold ten wins to HIK's four with five draws, and the aggregate stands at 37-25 in favour of the Østerbro outfit, with the most recent encounter on 21 August 2026 ending in a comfortable 3-0 B.93 victory at Østerbro Stadion. HIK have actually shown signs of life recently at home, beating Brabrand 2-1 and drawing 1-1 with both Roskilde and Thisted at Gentofte Sportspark, but those results sit alongside a 1-2 home defeat to Middelfart and a damaging 1-4 loss at home to Nykøbing, a run that underlines why Anton Leifsson's men have kept zero clean sheets in their seven home league games this season while conceding 1.71 goals per match in front of their own fans. B.93, by contrast, have won three of their last five, beating Middelfart 3-1 at home, winning 3-1 at struggling Thisted and grinding out a 1-0 home victory over Skive on 6 November, sandwiching narrow away defeats at Næstved (1-2) and in a five-goal thriller against Brabrand (2-3). The visitors' away record of 1.75 goals scored and 1.63 conceded per game suggests they are productive but rarely secure on the road, which is precisely the kind of profile that has punished HIK all season. HIK fans will draw some comfort from their side's ability to raise their level against stronger opposition, exemplified by their spirited 1-2 away win at Næstved back in May, a result that showed this squad can compete with top-half sides when their transitions click, but repeating that kind of performance against a B.93 team that has already beaten them 3-0 this term is a far taller order. Everything about the table, the head-to-head and the current trajectories of both 2026/27 campaigns says the same thing: HIK must defend far better than they have all season if they are to take anything from this match, because B.93 have scored in 87% of their away fixtures and arrive with real momentum under Kasper Lorentzen.

Hellerup's 2026/27 squad, listed as of early September, blends experienced campaigners with a heavy youth contingent, and manager Anton Leifsson has largely relied on a settled group despite indifferent results. Between the posts, Magnus Haslund has been the first-choice goalkeeper with Oliver Thorup as cover, and neither has been helped by the chaos in front of them. The defensive line features David Chernet, Isak Pondor, Gustav Rossen, Benjamin Suner, William Adelsten, Malcolm Tekoe and the intriguing loan signing Sashwat Rana from Malmö, a versatile full-back or wing-back whose arrival from Sweden adds mobility on the flank. The midfield is the engine room of this HIK side, built around Mathias Jørgensen, Jonas Damkjær and the creative influence of Andreas Garly in the number ten role, with August Wagner, Malthe Hesselholt, Berkay Sahin, Frederik Valdbjørn, the Italian Alessio Alicino and Jonatan Rindom all competing for minutes; Hesselholt and Rindom in particular represent the developmental upside of a squad whose average age sits in the low twenties. In attack, Leifsson can call on Jakob Johansson, Nicklas Schandorph, the highly rated 19-year-old Mikkel Haakonsson, Benjamin Lyng and Ibrahim Nuur, though HIK's 0.93 goals per game overall and just 1.14 at home tell the story of an attack that has not fired consistently enough to compensate for the leaks at the back. The underlying numbers sharpen the concern: HIK average 11.71 shots per match with only a 10% conversion rate, their expected goals sit at 1.29 against an expected goals against of 1.59, and they have scored first in only five of fifteen league games, meaning they are frequently chasing matches. When they do fall behind, the picture darkens further, as their first-half form (0.71 points per game at half-time) is among the weakest in the division. On the positive side, HIK's home matches average 2.86 total goals and they have found the net in 86% of their home fixtures, so there is almost always a goal in them at Gentofte Sportspark; the problem is that opponents almost always find two or three. Against a B.93 side that scores 2.4 goals per game on average in this fixture and has beaten HIK in ten of the last nineteen meetings, Leifsson's priority must be structural discipline in midfield, where Jørgensen and Damkjær must shield a back four that has not kept a home league clean sheet all campaign.

B.93's 2026/27 squad has been reshaped intelligently over the summer and the early-autumn window, and the results are visible in their third-place standing. Kasper Lorentzen, supported by assistant coaches Emil Dyre and Jimmi Klitland plus goalkeeping coach Kevin Stuhr Ellegaard, has a group built around defensive stability and wide creativity. In goal, Frederik Ibsen and 18-year-old Julius Christensen provide solid cover with Vaporakis farmed out on loan. The back line is anchored by captain Andreas Heimer at centre-back, alongside Emil Christensen, Ghanaian international Joseph Kinful, 19-year-old Karl Noppen and the summer arrival Simon Wæver, who joined from Sønderjyske for a modest €50,000 fee and has already contributed three league goals from right-back. Nicklas Mouritsen arrived on a free from Lyngby and has been the revelation of the season, leading the club's scoring charts with four league goals from a defensive or wing position, while Kristian Pedersen (free from FC Fredericia in mid-August), Valdemar Lykke (Lyngby U19), Ludvig Fagersted, Christoffer Henriksen and Emil Møller round out the full-back options. The midfield trio that has emerged in the club's 4-3-3 is one of the most balanced in the division: Mikkel Wohlgemuth anchors, Tobias Blidegn and Sven Leschly provide legs and press resistance, and the headline summer business came in the form of Lebanese playmaker Bassel Jradi, a free signing from AEL Limassol in July whose pedigree instantly raised the ceiling of this attack. Patrick Olsen (free from AC Horsens), Vito Hammershøy-Mistrati and Danis Faljic add further depth. Up front, Mads Abrahamsen and Lulian Jakupi operate from the flanks, with Yasin Belhadj (free from Hvidovre), Sebastian Koch (free from Hvidovre in late July), teenage promote Vincent Abildgaard from the U19s, and September signing Julius Voldby from Kolding competing for the central striker role alongside Jeffrey Papa, who has three goals already. Off the pitch, the club also announced Danish lifestyle brand Rains as its new principal partner for 2026/27, a deal that signals growing commercial ambition to match the sporting one, though they did lose Gustav Højbjerg to Sandefjord and Osvald Gabriel Søe to San Diego FC during the window. B.93's profile is statistically impressive: 61% average possession, 13.38 shots per match at a 13% conversion rate, and a balanced 1.38 xG against a 1.38 xGA, with both halves productive as they score in 62% of halves and have netted first in eleven of fifteen matches.

Taking all of this into account, our prediction for Hellerup vs B.93 is a 1-3 away victory. The European odds we reference for this match are approximately 3.60 for the home win, 3.50 for the draw and 1.95 for the away win, a pricing that reflects B.93's nine-point cushion over HIK and their clear head-to-head supremacy, and our main tip is therefore the away win at 1.95, with B.93 to win and both teams to score offered around 2.60 given HIK's strong record of finding the net at home (86% of home games) coupled with their total inability to keep clean sheets. The goals markets look equally inviting: over 2.5 goals is priced at roughly 1.72 and both teams to score at about 1.65, both firmly supported by the data showing an 81% BTTS average across the two sides' relevant splits and 68% of the last nineteen H2H meetings finishing over 2.5 goals, with these teams averaging a combined 4.6 goals per meeting historically. For the correct score, the 1-3 line we favour can be found at approximately 10.00, while B.93 on the -1 Asian handicap sits near 2.05, and Nicklas Mouritsen anytime scorer at around 2.90 offers value for a man who leads the club's scoring chart despite playing much of his football from deeper or wider positions. Our reasoning for the 1-3 scoreline is straightforward: B.93 score first in 73% of their matches and HIK concede the highest share of their goals between minutes 31 and 60, so we expect the visitors to seize control in the middle third, while HIK's habit of scoring late at home (23% of their goals arrive between minutes 51 and 60 and another chunk in the final quarter-hour) suggests they will pull one back once the game stretches. B.93's superior depth, with Jradi dictating tempo, Wæver and Mouritsen arriving from wide areas and Papa or Voldby occupying the centre-backs, should ultimately overwhelm a HIK defence conceding 1.71 goals per home game, and a second-half flurry should take the game away from the hosts just as it did in the 3-0 reverse fixture in August. Expect B.93 to bank three more points in their promotion push, expect HIK to show fight in front of their own fans, and expect goals at both ends at Gentofte Sportspark on Friday night, with the visitors running out comfortable 1-3 winners to complete a league double over their Copenhagen neighbours and consolidate third place ahead of the winter br
