The game was played in Br\u00f8ndby and AB won 3\u20130, with goals from 2nd Division top scorer Jonathan Mathys, as well as O\u2019Vonte Mullings and Tobias Lykkebak. It was a match that was very even for the first 30 minutes, after which AB took control and won fully deservedly.  <br\/><br\/>HIK lost narrowly in their last game of the regular season, 2\u20131 to N\u00e6stved.<br\/>AB drew twice over Easter. First it ended 0\u20130 in Skive on Maundy Thursday, and on Easter Monday it finished 1\u20131 against VSK Aarhus, with Marco Ramkilde calmly converting a penalty. So the team will of course do everything they can to get a win again.  <br\/><br\/><strong>Tobias Damtoft is looking forward to Friday\u2019s match: <\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a great game we\u2019re playing \u2013 a Friday night match \u2013 we love that! We\u2019re ready to show that the two draws aren\u2019t something we\u2019re used to. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s stuck with us either. I think it\u2019s more of a bit of a wake-up call for us. Nothing is just given; we have to be there every time, and I think we have been. You can see it in training too, where everyone gives it everything.<br\/>If we don\u2019t play at our best, other teams can make us look silly. If we do play at our best, I feel we can beat every team in the league. We\u2019re going all out to win every match, every time.<br\/>HIK are a team that know what they want. They\u2019re comfortable with the fact that it might not be them who have the ball all the time. We know them well by now \u2013 we\u2019ve played them twice this season and it\u2019s gone fine, but we\u2019re coming out with a clear plan, where we want to rattle them a bit,\u201d Tobias Damtoft concludes.         <br\/><br\/><strong>Head coach Fannar Berg Gunn\u00f3lfsson says that football is also about hiding weaknesses and showing your strengths: <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019re facing a new round, but broadly speaking we\u2019ll work in the same way. We\u2019ve been unlucky in front of goal in the last two matches. We\u2019ve created some good chances and got into good positions, but we haven\u2019t been quite good enough in those situations. I think the players are ready to step onto the pitch and show what they can do.<br\/>It\u2019s about energy, strength and crazy pressing \u2013 and we also want to create an entertaining football match.<br\/>We\u2019ve played the five opponents we\u2019re now going to face twice again. Those teams now know how we play. We play forward, we fight, and we try to score as many goals as possible so we win our matches too.<br\/>Of course there\u2019s a small difference now in how well we know each other. We try to read the opponent, eliminate their strengths and attack their weaknesses. It\u2019s the same for all the opponents \u2013 they look at our game, and even though we have a good, strong squad, opponents can of course find weaknesses in us.<br\/>That\u2019s also what football is about \u2013 hide the weaknesses and show the strengths. I think we\u2019ve been good at showing that this season,\u201d Fannar Berg Gunn\u00f3lfsson concludes.        <br\/><br\/><strong>The following players are in the match:<br\/><\/strong>  1.
