Hobro form and stats

Hobro have played 4 First Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). With Hobro having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Thomsen.

Hobro are returning here after guesting Kolding B in a Landspokal Cup match and winning with a 2-0 scoreline.

In the game before, an away victory in the First Division match versus FC Helsingør with a 3-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hobro perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hobro as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Hobro has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.

Hobro has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Hobro defense is not exactly impregnable. 7 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Horsens form and stats

Playing away, Horsens, who have the fewest scored goals (1) away in First Division, have won 0 games, drawn 0 and suffered 4 defeats in the First Division this season. A depressing four defeats in a row for Horsens in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Kolding IF.

187 minutes! That's how long the Horsens goalkeeper Matej Delac and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Horsens's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus B 93 that finished 0-0.

That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Næstved.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 6 similar matches played by Horsens in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Horsens, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

Goals are few and far between in Horsens's away league games. Only {1 goals} from 4 travels. The Horsens manager Askou has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
